The game plan...64 miles or...anything you want to make it! Many ways to make it as short or as long as you like.
Start at 10am at the Albertson's Store on 57th and Regal. Ride the Valley Chapel Road and take it into Kentuck Trails at the Cemetary where we turn south and take it into Spangle. Refill water bottles at Spangle and continue our trek on Cheney-Spangle Rd and right turn on Fish Lake Trailhead to our right turn on Cheney Spokane... bring it down and cross over Hwy 195. (can refill water bottles at the former Tidymans at Cheney/Spokane road & 195)... take Inland Empire South Hill via Cedar round the High Drive area and back to Albertsons. For those who want to add on more miles, we can head out to Valleyford and Highway 27, turn North to Dishman Mica Rd. turn left then left again on Madison for a nice climb back to the Palouse Highway. Once back on the Palouse Highway, we can go back to Alberstson's or turn down Baltimore, through Hangman Valley and back to Albertson's via Hatch Road, a respectable climb. For the really hard core, before you head up Hatch, you can take the infamous White Rd. to finish ou the leg burn.
This ride can be made in any mileage you choose and the route is never to far from Spokane.

BTW, I was talking with Jerry and he suggested that when we get back to Spokane, another option for additional miles would be to do the Seven Mile Loop before heading back up High Drive on the South Hill. So many options to choose from and never more than 20 miles from Spokane.
