GO BLUE! GO GREEN! The BIG game is this Saturday who are you rooting for?? Show your spirit and wear your College Colors!! The best decorated bike/person will win a prize!Starting in Bandemer Park we'll travel on the Border-to-Border trail through several of Ann Arbor's parks along the sparkling Huron River. Some of the sights you'll see are the Argo Dam, the Argo Cascades, a historic grist mill in Parker Mill County Park and our destination riding through the Matthaei Botanical Gardens Trail! There will be a bathroom stop half way with a place to fill your water bottle.
We Roll-out at 6:00 so please arrive as early as you need to get ready. This ride is 16 miles at a 10-12 mph pace. This is a *No-Drop ride on a paved trail/sidewalk, boardwalk bridges and packed dirt. The terrain is mostly flat with a couple of hills (but are fun to go down when traveling in the opposite direction!) The Botanical Gardens Trail has fun rolling hills!
Meeting place is Bandemer Park in Ann Arbor. Go south on US-23 to M-14 West toward Ann Arbor (it curves to the right). Take exit 4 onto Whimore Lake Rd. Turn left and the park is immediately on your right. Drive over the wooden bridge to the large parking lot.

Ride Etiquette:
• Show up prepared and on time. Out of respect for others we will not delay the ride start for someone who is late. It is completely okay if you are familiar with the route and have a plan to catch up. In other words, if you are late plan to find us on the route.
• We share the trail with walkers and bikers so please call out traffic: "Walker Up" and/or "Biker up." When you hear this called out it is your responsibility to move to the right side of the trail and ride single file. We pass the slower traffic on the left and it is considerate to either ring your bell or say "On your left" to the walker or biker you are passing.
*No-Drop ride means we don't leave anyone behind and occasionally stop to collect all of the riders.
Any Questions can be directed to Heather Durham per messenger
