Sparks and East and West Spanish Springs

We gather at 8:45 am at the Sparks Marina and prepare, sign in and roll at 9:00 am. This is an idiosyncratic route that we have done before. This route goes up Gino Martini and over Isabella/ Culpepper to Los Altos, we descend and do several of the flatter roads like Henry Orr and Kiley before crossing into Western Spanish springs. We take back roads to roll on Neighborhood Dr, wind to Silent Sparrow and come back south on Lanstar and then do Bridle Path/Tranquility. Then its back on Cordoba and Winfield Springs and before heading back we go up old Waverly.
