Ad-Hoc and Alternate Ride

Ride Description :

An alternate ride from Halyburton to the Marine Science Center Open House (once per year), where we can see the coral, jellyfish, Shellfish Research Hatchery and oceanographic instrumentation (buoys).  The route there is 16 miles.

The 7 mile route back goes to the Ashley backwards route.  Where we ride a block in the right turn lane to Mohican trail, we continue 1 more block to a U-turn left lane to get across College.  Then via St Andrews to the Pointe food court, and back to the start via cross city trail.
