Monday morning bicycle ride
Author Last Post

There is some confusion on the location of McLoud Run trailhead off Center Point Road. It is across the street from the New Pioneer Coop or the first turn past Papa Murphy's Pizza. The original message said Papa John's Pizza and it was pointed out to me that is a different place entirely.

Thanks, Steve

Monday morning bicycle ride.

The heat is supposed to break this weekend, so we are planning to go on a shorter, slower, more urban bicycle ride than usual Monday morning, 8/2/21. Plan to meet (8:45) & start (9:00) at the McLoud Run Trailhead off Center Point Road in back of Papa Murphy’s Pizza. Plan to ride south – there are a couple of easy, well-marked detours on the trail (one after the bridge on J Ave & one before the 16th Ave Bridge). There is about 200 yards of rough trail (crushed limestone) on the south side of the landfill otherwise the trail is in great shape & is a fun ride. There is a cool, new traffic button on 1st Ave that tells you a yellow light is flashing & hopefully makes crossing safer.

There are lots of things to see and we will be crossing several streets on this ride, so it is better to be on the slow and cautious side for this ride. I was planning to turn around at the C Ave Trail head, but we can go further if the group wants - there was a suggestion to go to the Shack Tavern or Jerseys, but it would be pretty early. We will be riding by New Bo & the Czech Village & lots of cool sights. The entire ride should be about 2 hours, unless folks want to stop & look around. Hope you can join us for a different trail ride this next Monday morning.

Thanks, Steve Cummings
