In our continuing tradition of cycling and eating, Strays will ride about 20 miles on the Gainesville Hawthorne Trail on Tuesday evening, weather cooperating, followed by $2 hamburger / sausage-sub night at Market Street Pub.

Meet at 5:30 PM, at the picnic tables across from the dirt lot, at the second entrance (Boulware Waterworks), for a 5:45 pm departure.

No top speed defined, this is a training ride, but mostly hanging around 12 - 14 mph average.

There will be a brief convenience store / rest room stop at Tim's Fast Nickel, if desired.

For those who don't want to ride, or can't, but want to join us for the food, we usually make it to MSP between 8 - 8:30 pm.

No pacelines, no racing, no wheel sucking, just a fun social ride.

Helmets are REQUIRED on all Strays rides, mirrors recommended, headphones forbidden.

Safety protocols are always observed on Strays rides

NEW RIDERS must read the following before joining us:

To get to the Market Street Pub:

From the intersection of University and Main, go south on Main one block and turn right, Market Street Pub is on the right in two blocks. If you don't see us out front, be sure and look around inside, we sometimes find a warm smoke free cubbyhole.

Note: If the ride runs late because of flats, cows on the trail, suicide rabbits; armadillos or deer, lights jumping off at bridges, astronomy stops, MSP not open, ect. the restaurant venue may change to Mi Apa (call my cell about 7:30 if you want to know the final destination)
