Karen, Joe and I discussed doing a reprise THIS SUNDAY of our orchard ride that was done in mid-October. The route takes us to 4 locations on mixed surfaces, starting from Bueche's Food World on Main St. in Flushing, out to Flushing Farms, then Montrose Orchards, then south to Koan and Al-Mar Orchards. The route is on both paved and gravel roads, so a gravel or hybrid bike would be recommended. We are planning to do the ride this SUNDAY starting later in the day for warmer temperatures. As long as you can use the RWGPS route, you can ride with the group or at your own pace. I anticipate an average pace of 12-14 mph for the group.

START LOCATION: Bueche's Food World, 300 W. Main St., Flushing, MI. 48433
