Roads End Impromptu

Hello Biker Buddies--
 
I'm looking at forecasts for a nice day tomorrow and, of course, thinking we ought to have a ride on the schedule.  Morning clouds, afternoon sun, temp 48 to 51 deg., probability of rain at 10%.   Let's hope this is not some kind of trick!
 
I'm thinking of a relatively easy ride, 20 to 30 miles.  Group style, pace 14 to 16 mph (moderate), just right for bird watching.  Start from River Maiden, at 12 noon, when the chances for sun breaks should be better, and the temperature a little warmer. 
 
The route is named "Roads End".  (You can view and print the map/cue by clicking on "map/cue" below.)  But basically it's just out to the end of River Road and back.  You can adjust your total distance by turning around whenever you like.
 
OK then, we'll see you 12 noon at River Maiden.  If it turns out that the weather guessers are playing tricks on us, and it's raining, we'll cancel the ride and have some coffee.
