Spring Populaire ROUTE CHANGE

[Rosemary Pantley]

Due to flooding we need to change our route for the ride tomorrow.  We are not able to detour around the flooding.  We have selected a new route that starts and ends at the original location.   The new route is the two lakes I-90 route.

Big Thanks to Keith Moore for getting the route ready for RUSA approval, the RUSA Brevet Team and especially Roger Hillas for reviewing and approving the route so quickly.

The SIR website has been updated with the new route.

The new route spends a lot of time on multiuse paths, please do not attempt to set any 100k PRs.  The trails will likely be busy with people walking, jogging, pushing baby strollers, walking dogs, etc.  As a reminder, please pass other trail users with the same safety and respect you would like to see from cars passing you on public roads.

An email was sent to each registered rider and we will have a laptop available at the start in case anyone missed these noticies.
