Special Considerations during this time:BILL WILL BE OUR SAG SUPPORT-YIPPEE  Good idea to bring lights for bikes (if wanted), plenty of water, snacks, lunch money, will stop at local store for a delicious sandwich (of course you can bring your own) There will be a cooler in the truck with water, some snacks.  You can shed clothes as needed. In the 50+degree range at start of ride, approaching 80 degrees.  Wow

Directions:

West Hwy 64, left (southwest) on Hwy 94, Approximately 1 mile to Hwy D, right turn (west), 14 miles to Sue’s home, around a bend on the road (right side) Due to school in session, Hwy 94 traffic from Hwy 64, could take an extra 10 minutes or so.  Another option, continue on Hwy 64 to Hwy Z, head south (left) for approximately 6 miles to Hwy D, then right to Sue’s home.

Plenty of parking available. Good idea, to map on phone, hence easier to turn into Sue’s driveway-white 2 story home. Town of New Melle – 4 miles from Sue’s home has a service station, bathrooms available.  Bathroom available at Sue’s home.
