Where: Meet at Albertson's on 57th Street When: 9:00 AM Description: ~50-60 mile ride south to the "Spokane Roubaix" loop. We'll go out Valley Chapel to the loop which consists of paved and gravel roads. Bring your road bikes and at least one spare tube! Here's a map of the loop: www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/360099Food/Water: Don't count on any services. We could probably detour into Rockford or Fairfield if needed. Rain Cancels?: Maybe...check the forum

I'll pass on the gravel guys. I'm looking at a hardtop ride possibly in the Lilac 50 area or north of Tim L's house (~Green Bluff area).
thx,

"Spokane Roubaix" loop..... sounds to interesting to pass up. I am supposed to work on Saturday but I think I can work later in the day and go for a morning ride.
Mike are you riding up to Albertson's?

Stu the loop is probably 40% gravel and 60% paved. No mud or sand. It's all ridable on 23-25mm road tires, but bring a spare. Ronb, yeah, see you at 0800.

Thanks for coming out Tom. I made it about 10 miles further than you before I blew my tubie. I didn't bring a spare because I was confident in my new tire...doh.
Great pictures. We need more photos of us in the new kits.
