For tomorrow, we are meeting up at 9 am at CS HS Parking lot near the
Tiger (Nueces and Harvey Mitchell).  Here's what I was thinking for
cycling routes:

The URL for this route is: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4078527

This route is 29.5 miles long, but if you turn back for home the first
time you reach the N. Graham and I&GN intersection, then it is only
21.75 miles, so there is a 20 mile option and a 30 mile option.

Many people are familiar with that route back to the HS because it is
often taken by the Social Ride and the Second Saturday Ride.  If you
are unfamiliar, I leave it to your best judgment as to whether or how
you familiarize yourself with the proposed route!

Since the first part of the route is urban, I figure it will be pretty
easy for bikes of a variety of speeds to stay together on that
stretch.

I am hoping Green's Prairie Road isn't very busy on Saturday morning;
I don't ride out there often.

We'll get a tour of the new bike facilities near the new HEB.

I'm happy to do a different route than this if someone has a better
idea; I just thought I better start with some kind of a plan.
