-->This week's Ride - Saturday October 4 ride - We will leave A-Kman at 8 am (more or less) and I propose that we head out to Templeton Road to Main street, then left on Main which then becomes Vineyard, take Vineyard to 46, cross, then continue on Vineyard to Willow creek. We take a right on Willowcreek to Peachy, left on Peachy to return to Vineyard. Then Right on Vineyard to Adelaida. Then continue right up Adelaida and down to Paso for our first refreshment stop (about 37miles into the ride) Cafe Vio...Riders wanting a shorter ride (45ish mi) can leave on 13th street but then go right on River Rd (construction permitting) and return to Akman by River, Neil Springs, Hollyhock etc. For a longer ride we will continue on 13th street up the hill where it turns into Creston Rd. and ride on to Niblick where we go left as it turns in to Linne Road then Geneseo and go all the way to Creston Road. For a 58 ish ride you then go right on Creston all the way to left on (South) El Pomar and continue on all the way down the Chicago grade to the left on Homestead and smell the barn all the way home. Maps 9 and 15 have the roads mentioned. For those wishing to do a century option we will leave the rest of the group at Creston Road heading left toward Creston, take Camp 8 to 41 and then take 41 to Shandon for a food and drink break at about 60 miles. Then head back by way of Shell Creek and a fast ride down La Panza. We can refuel if necessary at the store in Creston or continue straight down 41 to cripple creek to South El Pomar and down the Chicago grade, Homestead and home. 104 miles. Piece of cake! Or at least some great Pot Luck at the Kman Party!!

-->Review of Last Saturday's ride: Those riders not riding the Lighthouse met at Kman and headed out to Vineyard and 46. Terry was back from "Everest", the Challenge that is, wearing red pokka dot socks no less. Kman and the Bick showed as well as Steve R., Chris, Casey, Mike J. and Louise. It was nice to see Mark G. for some miles. The ride on Chimney Rock to San Marcos to San Miguel was quick and congenial and the coffee shop a change of pace as the new owners had icecream and deli sandwiches. Terry, Steve, Chris and Casey headed home on River Road while Mike and I went the long way around Hog Canyon and home with a hydration stop at the Sylvester Winery.
