I see that I've posted two routes. a) Above, I have us coming down Penn through the Strip and crossing the 16th Street Bridge. b) On Facebook, I have us crossing the 31st St Bridge and coming down either River Ave or the trail, then wiggling over to the north end of the 16th St Bridge. I'm going with (a).

Second meetup location: North end of the 16th St Bridge at Progress Street, about 6:30-6:45. I made the correction above to the route plan. [map]
