We are good to go! Only 66 hours until we head out on a small adventure... Without jinxing us, the forecast is shaping up to be mid-40s and cloudy with a northerly breeze. Just pretend it's Tour of Flanders with the wind coming off the North Sea.
A couple of last minute points. Bathrooms may be open, (and probably will be) but space is still a bit limited. If you have a choice, go before you get there! Otherwise, King's or the gas station may be accessible too.
Parking is at the ball field. It's going to be a bit tight, so please park responsibly, and make SURE you don't block the public works building access! (very bad karma). No parking at the church either. If we get in an overflow, there's some space in the field behind the ball field (better spot for hiding to change, too); otherwise if you ask you can park behind the gas station.
There are one or two (or maybe 3) confusing intersections if you don't pay attention.
- Lewiston -> 205th -> Lewiston ---- maybe not that bad, but somebody is bound to try and go the wrong way.
- Lewiston -> 220th ->Goodwin->220th ---- Don't miss the turn to 220th. If you get to the big arrow in the sky, you just missed it.
- 220th -> Inga. ---- If you are going 56 -- TURN LEFT. This is where the 40s TURN RIGHT!.
- 220th -> Inga - Deja Vu. ---- You suddenly get the sense you've been here before. TURN LEFT!
- Inga ---- The 'b-road'. Hopefully there's a path through the glacier. It hasn't rained much, so there may still be a snowy spot or two. Enjoy the challenge, but please stay out of the farm fields!
- Inga -> 280th - 40 riders take note. The turn list omits the bend to the left and treats it as a continuation. Bad turnlist. Bad! According to the turn list, you'll go about 13.9 miles without turning off of Inga. Just follow the road.
After that, just watch out for wildlife (turkeys, deer, possum, skunk) and enjoy the ride.
