hanging around 14 mph.

the
food, we usually make it to MSP at about 7:15-7:30.
Meet at 5:15 PM at the dirt lot at Boulware
Springs
for a 5:30 departure.
Helmets are REQUIRED on all
Strays

forbidden.

To get to the Boulware Springs dirt lot:
From the intersection of Waldo Road (24/331) and University Ave (26),
proceed East on University for about a quarter mile, the road forks, take
the
right fork, which is Hawthorne Rd. (20), in about another block take a
right
(going south) on SE 15th st., continue south for about 2.25 miles until you
see
the brown Gainesville Hawthorne Trail sign on your right. Pass the first
entrance to the park, but enter the second entrance a few hundred feet
further
south. Park either in the dirt lot or the paved lot down near the spring
house.
We gather for the ride at the picnic tables next to the dirt lot. If
you
need a rest room and the Boulware Springs facility is locked, there will be
a
rest room at about the one mile point on the ride.
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. Park in
the
city parking lot immediately across the street on the left. If
you don't
see us out front, be sure and look around inside, we sometimes find a
cubbyhole
to hide in to escape the heat. http://www.marketstreetpub.com/ .
