Starting at 10 from William pond park we will ride west towards town on the trail when we reach Campus Commons Golf Course, we will cross the levee and go east towards the new Raleys and CVS parking lot and go to the inter-section at Fair Oaks and Howe Ave;cross Howe Ave at the crosswalk then a short ride on the frontage road to the lot entrance near Ruth Chris Steak House.
