Shortenened, 47-mile Apple Blossom Ride, Starting in Millwood.

Due to popular demand for a shorter ride for CCs this early in the season, I have cancelled the ride that started in Boyce and added this one. It is essentially the same route, minus a loop.  (Energetic people can still do the loop at the end!)  There is a restroom in the mill parking lot, though it may not be opened at the early time we arrive. Please find a place to park somewhere on the street. I don't recommend parking in mill parking. SADLY, ON-STREET PARKING IS LIMITED. 

Clarification for CC riders: Please think of me as a ride "facilitator", rather than a "leader." Unlike some CC rides, we will not go at the pace of the slowest rider. I'll ride at an average of 12 mph and may not stop at every turn to let slower riders catch up. 

Please let me know if you would like to plan a picnic at the lovely mill grounds afterwards. If people contact me (offline), I'll send an email to the group letting you know there was interest. Folks can either buy food at the lovely Locke Store across the street, or bring their own.

Wheels out at 9:30 a.m.

(If you had your heart set on the longer, 57-mile route route, send me an email and I'll send you a file with the longer route included as a loop appended to the ride the rest of us are doing. I'm not including it here because I don't want to confuse anyone more than I have already.)

Cue Sheet:  Contact Rita by Friday night if you need  a paper copy.  Cue sheets will not be available at the ride.

Weather forecast:   Lookin' pretty good as of two days prior!
