Tuesday Moderate Ride – May 12th – 9:00 AM – Panera
This Tuesday is an open day on the schedule; there is no pre-established route or destination. A shorter ride would better suit my schedule, and I just happen to have a route to a favorite Tuesday lunch destination. Here, from my own library, is a link to the route to Max’s Deli in Highland Park: Short loop to Max's Deli · Ride with GPS. Our total distance will be around 32 miles, with two thirds of that distance before lunch. I’ll ride at a moderate (13 to 15 mph) pace. With enough interest there can be a second slightly faster group.
For novice Max visitors, the menu can be a bit overwhelming. If you’d like to give it a little pre-study, it can be found at: Breakfast - Maxs-Deli. (In spite of what the link says, this will give you the entire menu.) I am particularly fond of the smoked fish platters and the omelets.
Tuesday’s weather forecast is a bit iffy. It’ll be cloudy with a temperature range of 53 to 68 degrees during our ride time. Winds will be from the SSW at 15 to 25 mph. There is a slight chance of a stray shower or thunderstorm. At the moment the hourly forecast is showing a 35% chance of rain at noon, which means there is a 65% chance it won’t rain. I’ll monitor the weather closely, and if it seems prudent to cancel the ride, I will post an announcement to the listserv before 7:30 AM on the morning of the ride.
