are you guys going to make an extended trip back to light rail at the end of the ride?

Riders are better off heading to light rail independently or in small groups. (There is no way we can all fit on the train).

Those cute little water signs are the stops Sandra. We will pass out the turn by turn during the ride.

Tell all your friends to avoid the roads on our route Friday night unless they want to be held up!
They should all join us, and make it even more epic than the last one!
I know I’m ready!
