Here's what I found when I went over there on Sunday:
I'm not sure what direction they are routing the ride, but if it's clockwise, the little jog from Grand at Lillie over to Linden is going to be a doozy. It's a funky left turn into a downhill into a hard right turn into an uphill and another right turn combo. The north end on Franklin is fresh pavement on a divided boulevard. Kind of narrow if they make everyone stay to the right. Otherwise, a tight little course on residential streets. It's much shorter than last year's course
Check it out when you get a chance.
