Possible 200km route
Dec 24th, 2008, 9:41pm
 
I'm going to post a cue sheet to a ride I did a couple of years ago with some minor modifications. When I did it before I was going to have lunch with my friend in the nursing home, but that nursing home got flooded out and my friend died (not at the same time). So I moved the start from my house to the Firewheel "Mall", and rode into Sherman the "back way" and left by the "front way"

I know that the stretch of Jupiter Rd. from Parker on south  is not the best, especially for a group ride, but it was the best of several bad choices. The ride begins and ends in Firewheel "Mall" where there is lots of parking, and the official "start" of the ride is the intersection  of Horseshoe Dr. and Town Center Blvd.
 
So, what do you think?

I ride my bike to ride my bike, and sometimes it takes me where I need to go.
