Swope Thursday Night Rides, with your host, me.

Check the EARTHRIDERS topic here: http://forums.earthriders.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9051

My announcement here: 

The ride will begin EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT at 6:00 PM (MTB time) with a warm-up from the Plaza (Volker/Brookside) down into the Swope trails (if trails are not ridable, there will have alternative routes I will be scoping out soon). If you do not want to do the warm-up ride, we should make it to the Swope trailhead around 6:45, where we will re-group before hitting the dirt. Also feel free to join us anywhere along the route to continue onto Swope. I am estimating we will be around 61st street/Trolley trail by 6:10, and Dunn Park/Research Medical Center by 6:15 if you would rather meet up with us at either of those locations. Also, I will be riding back from Swope to the Midtown area when finished doing laps for the evening, feel free to join me on the journey there and back! 

Please see the information below regarding more specifics about the route:
