"slowpokes ride" on Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m.
Sonia Dubielzig
This is a follow-up to that e-mail I wrote a while back looking for people who are willing to ride a slower pace because I will be hauling my 3-year old in a heavy trailer. That e-mail developed into a real "ride", so I figured I would share with all of you in case others were looking for a family-friendly (and calorie-burning) ride.
--On odd dates, we'll leave from the "odd" little hut at the Lake Country Trailhead, just east of Country Springs Hotel.
--On even dates, we'll start on more "even ground" and leave town on the Glacial Drumlin Trail.
Estimated ride pace: 10-14 mph. Older kids with biking experience should be able to keep that pace and are welcome as well.
Estimated distance: 15-25 miles.
Estimated ride time: 1-1.5 hours, possibly longer as the days grow longer.
Our first ride is tomorrow (Tuesday) leaving from the Lake Country Trailhead. Wind is supposed to be 12 mph tomorrow, not too bad.

Don’t forget tomorrow (Tues) is the first official “slow-pokes” ride of the season. We hope to be riding by 6pm from the Lake Country Trailhead which is just east of the Country Springs Hotel.
Next week is an “even” date so we’ll be doing the Glacial Drumlin Trail. Because we are going to have more kids on bikes and little ones wanting to run around, let’s meet at the Shurtz building at the corner of Prairie and College Ave. We’ll have bathrooms and a safe place to unload our bikes.

I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown,
for going out, I found, was really going in. ~John Muir

Subject: Tues ride start change
Hi all.
Just a reminder that our first “slow-pokes” family ride will be this Tues. I’ve decided that on odd dates it would be better to meet at the Lake Country trailhead which is right next to the Country Springs Hotel. Starting here will mean less stop lights to get through with kids and we’ll in a parking lot with few cars etc... Our start time is 6pm. If we have any potty emergencies we can always scoot over to the hotel. Keep your fingers crossed for fabulous weather.
