For the MMRR on Monday April 22nd we will again ride the alternative route which allows us to have our coffee break at Specialty Coffee at McCarthy Ranch. Still flat and the route follows much of the current route with our normal regroups at the Chevron on Paseo Padre and at the stop sign at Grimmer also on Paseo Padre. Continue on Paseo to E (Earl) Warren as usual but we will not make the left at Lakeview off of Warren but go on down to the light at Fremont Blvd and make the left. We will head down Fremont Blvd to the Coyote Creek trail and head to McCarthy Ranch where we will have our coffee break at Specialty Coffee, 691 N. McCarthy Ranch Blvd. We will return by way of Fremont Blvd and follow the same route as usual to Thornton/Paseo Padre but then bypass Coyote Hills Park (no Nike or Happy Place) and stay on Paseo on our way back to Thornton Ave. Folks can peel off as usual near the end of the ride. 

~39 miles with a whopping 689 feet of climbing.
