Second Sunday Breakfast Ride

If you ride this on the morning of the second Sunday of the month this ride features a stop
at the Garden Valley firestation for a $5 breakfast of coffee and juice, an omelette or eggs
your style with ham or sausage.

This is one of the longer loops you can do before breakfast.  There are two shortcuts on
this route which will bring you back to the firehouse in less mileage.  They are noted
on the cue sheet
