Great, Mark! With a Senior Pass, the cost to get into the Park is $0.

Darn! I already registered with Nancy and Walt for the April 7, 8 Tour n Train….

I’ll have to try this route myself some other time…

[Mark Borgeson]

Bill – The start is at the Chevron at the intersection of the 15 & 74.

Thanks Mark so I can update the Facebook page with start location.

[Bill Reitz]

Ahhh Mark, GPX file attached ????

[Mark Borgeson]

Try this again. GPX file attached.

[Mark Borgeson]

Bill – I can attach the GPX file but it doesn’t get upload?ed?? It only 450K so it’s not a size limit.

[Brandon Wilson]

Wish I could make that ride but kids are priority during their spring break the first week of April. Have fun!

[Mark Borgeson]

Good choice. They grow up too fast.

[Bill Reitz]

Try emailing the file to either Rick or John C and see if they can help.

[Mark Borgeson]

GPX attached. Rick fixed it – thanks Rick!
