Bike De'lights 2009 - UPDATE

Bike De'Lights rescheduled for Friday, December 18.

The quantity of snow on the trails and streets that we will be using, along with the forcasted single digit temps on Friday, would make this a difficult ride for casual riders.  The extended forcast for the 18th looks much better, and most of the snow should be off of the streets and trails by then.  See you on the 18th.

We have made the following changes to the original post, but we are making a separate post to insure that you will not miss them.

Update 1: The updated route (see below) is currently ~ 13 miles.  Let us know if you think 13 miles is too long for any of the riders you would like to have join us.  We are still fine-tuning the route and we can adjust a few things to bring the distance back down if we need to.

Note: Don't be frightened by the 13 miles. There are easy opportunities to shorten the ride if you or your kids aren't comfortable with that distance, or the weather. You could ride from Midtown Crossing to Field Club, and then return to Midtown Crossing. Alternatively, hook up with us at 13th Street Coffee at 8pm and just ride downtown. Either way, you'll have a great time and see some awesome light displays.

Update 2: The following route map was added to get rid of the scarry list of turns.  Riders will not need to memorize the route unless they plan to go off on their own and meet up with us at one of the stops.  We will have people leading the ride and keeping the group together.
