    Some mapping programs may not show the correct starting location.

    The ride start is at the very EAST end of 49th Ave N at Kroening Park. 

    You'll know you're in the correct parking lot if there is a friendly-staffed building there - with restrooms and water. 

    Keeping the winter version of Park to Park ride going into the winter season (by using less trails, and more roads, to avoid the slipperiest of conditions of course)!

    This week, offering about a 30 mile ride route.

    Again, as always, the RideWithGPS route posted is only a general suggestion, as I routinely change it up slightly when needed.

    Rest stop will be at a coffee shop about half-way - i.e. warm drinks, soup and/or sandwiches!

    This ride is a follow-the-leader keep-the-group-together at a pace that is acceptable to ALL that show.

    I will be riding a road bike with 700x28m tires.
