Itinerary:

Don't have any plans for Sunday morning, then join me for a morning bike ride on the Big Creek Greenway. We'll meet at the the southern trailhead off of McFarland Road. The one-way distance is 6.8 miles, so out and back is 13.6 miles. Everyone can go at their own pace, but it shouldn't take us more than 2 1/2 hours total. It's mostly flat with only about 100 feet of total elevation change one way.

Our pace will be determined by the group, but normally it's around 10-12 MPH.
