I am bowing out, graciously! Went riding yesterday, and it was just too darn cold for me! Stay warm everyone, and ride safe.
January 13th, 2013 at 1:47 pm
What a great ride this morning! Thanks to Lisa for organizing, and special thanks for Lynetta for making sure I didn’t get lost
Looking forward to the next ride, hopefully it’ll be a little balmier!

Had a great, if not chilly, ride last Sunday. Thanks to everyone who makes this happen. I have a suggestion for the route. I’m not a fan of riding Town Center or making a left off of Hualapai if I don’t have to. How about this for the return route? I think the mileage is comparable.
Left – Charleston/159
Right – Desert Foothill
Right – Red Rock Ranch
Becomes Flamingo at DI
Right – Town Center
Keep Right – Town Center (Mesa sign)
Left @ Rondobot/Mesa Park
Left @ Rondobot/Russell
Left – Hualapai
Right – Twain
Left – Grand Canyon
Left – Lake South
Left – Count Diero
Left – Desert Marigold
Straight @ Rondobot
Becomes Havenwood
Straight @ Rondobot/Spotted Leaf
Left – Into Park

Kevin -I think that’s a great suggestion. I’ll map it out and see what the mileage is in comparison to the current route. Btw…We use to use that route on our old Thursday Night Rides.
