The mansion parking lot at Ridley Creek State Park.
It should be a beautiful day for a ride and I have been wanting to try this restaurant for awhile.

We will meet at the Mansion parking lot in Ridley Creek State Park and leave promptly at 9:30. No one dropped (unless you ride out front, then all bets are off). Expect 45 miles and 2900 feet of climb, lovely weather and good people. See you there.
