Details:	If you like to avoid cars as much as possible while biking then this paved nature trail is the ride for you! Ever wonder how this trail connects from 92nd Ave all the way to Fruit Valley Rd? Follow us! This route follows Burnt Bridge Creek and beyond through a variety of landscapes, including open grasslands, wetlands, and forests. We'll start at Burnt Bridge Creek Elementary and ride our way down through the neighborhoods to 28th/Burton. From here, we'll detour off the beaten path and ride a loop through the Oakbrook neighborhood before making our way over to the Burnt Bridge Creek Trail. We'll enjoy this wonderful car free trail all the way to Fruit Valley Rd, and enjoy a fun descent down the hill and over to Shillapoo Wildlife Area. After a short break, we'll head back up the hill to the trail and make our way back to Burnt Bridge Creek Elementary. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Contact me if you have any difficulty. Our registration collects your waiver signature AND emergency contact information. Important! ?Please arrive 15 minutes early to be part of the announcements and safety briefing. ?Bring a bike in good working order (pump up those tires), wear your helmet (REQUIRED), and tuck in some water and a tube that fits your wheel. ?The published pace is 13-14mph This is the maximum speed of the ride; a rider should be able to sustain this speed on flat terrain with no wind. ?This is a group ride meaning that riders stay together at the published pace for the entire ride; we will regroup at tops of hills if needed. ?Lights are great to have on your bike. Bells are great for notifying pedestrians or cyclists that you're passing, but "On your left!" works just as well. Route Map
