Fayetteville Thursday Night Bike Ride & Beer

LET'S MAKE THIS FIRST RIDE OF THE NEW THURSDAY NIGHT JAUNT an exploratory session. We'll do the same 11 miles (or so) that Russell Stinebaugh did over the years, perhaps changing a bit along the way. Afterwards, at the Fossil Cove brewery, we will discuss what you wish to do for the rest of the summer in terms of length of rides and routes. * We meet by the Circle K, at North Street and the Razorback Greenway, to the east side of the building. The ride leaves CIrcle K at 6:30 pm, so it's a good idea to show up a few minutes early. We head north on Scull Creek Trail through the US Biz 71 tunnel, then east onto Mud Creek Trail to the end at Old Missouri Rd. We usually stop here for a few minutes, at the midway point (white dot in red emblem on map), and then return. \ *After the ride, join us if you wish at the Fossil Cove Brewery (about 1 mile northeast of Circle K) for beer and pizza from the food truck. * Also if you wish you can park before the ride at Fossil Cove and bike south to meet us at the starting point at Circle K. \ *This ride will be casual and easy at a leisurely pace of about 10-12 mph. Overall the ride is about 11 miles.
