Description:  Casual very easy pace (ave. @ 11mph) for @ 14 miles.  Mostly on bike friendly streets and paths.  One 50ft climb on higher speed limit Double R Blvd, but in a bike lane.  Start 9am from the farther out zone of Meadowood Mall food court/Dicks Sporting Goods/Round1 parking area.  (Trying not to park our cars with bicycle racks in a too crowded area.)   Ride is through nicely landscaped commercial and warehouse areas going south and east.  Features a couple of little used pathways and a pretty little lake hidden away from the local streets.  Restrooms in the Mall won’t be open yet at the start.  After ride refreshment break if people are so inclined.
