Directions to Start: Take Exit 208 off I 5 and follow the feeder road to SR 530. Follow SR 530 east for about 4 miles to Hwy 9. Turn left at the light on Hwy 9 and then make the first right on Burke. Arrive at Food Pavilion. Park on street - not in grocery store parking lot.

Guided Pace 1: Social to moderate (12-15 mph) - must be able to maintain that pace for 63 miles (otherwise consider doing shorter loop). Guides: Jim Shedd, Amy Carlson, Sherry Johnson, and Molly Johnson and Bob Nyberg.

Self Pace 5: At whatever pace you or your friends want to ride - this is for those who don't like riding in a group or feel they need a guide. All paces will slow down in spots - particularly in the Tulip Fields.

Regroup: Ride group leaders together with riders decide on stops, breaks, meals, etc.

Distance: About 63 miles
