A short ride on the Armand Bayou loop

Only an 11 mile loop or so. This is so there will be plenty of time for Church, although one may always choose to do two quick loops and at least get some distance.

I usually ride this on the hike/bike trail (it is asphalt) and the bike lane, so speeds are pretty limited. There's really only one stretch that let's you speed up at all, and that, of course, is where there is no shoulder at all on a high speed road with some traffic.

If there are enough of us for visibility, then we'll ride on the roads and up the speed quite a bit. Word of warning, this was the first place I ever hit 30mph on a flat with no wind, so I tend to get a little bit excited when turning the corner from Red Bluff onto Kirby. I always try to replicate it but usually get nowhere near that speed.

Meet by the duck pond near the exit.
