Parking: Large parking lot behind Viv's Cafe near Tanque Verde and Catalina Highway

The Crossroads Coffee Shop has closed so we'll start at Viv's Cafe, take a quick spin on Woodland to say good morning to the horses, then go up Catalina Highway to Snyder, then down Snyder to Tanque Verde. From there we'll go east on Tanque Verde to the 49ers golf course, wind our way through it, and go out the back way to the country road stretch of Speedway. At Speedway, we'll go east to the rock where we'll take a short break before turning around. After our break, we'll follow the route back through 49ers - but go up Connestoga and Melpomenene to Catalina Highway and then fly down the hill. At the end of the ride we can have lunch at Viv's.

This will be a social ride of 30 miles at a C pace (which means, on this ride, about 13 mph average) . We'll regroup as needed and no one will be left behind due to a mechanical problem. Meet by 8:15 - wheels rolling at 8:30.
