Tulsa Run

We're not going to be selling coffee at the Tulsa Run tomorrow.  Instead of finishing at Veteran's Park, the race will end at the Bokarena.
So you have to come to the DoubleShot to get coffee tomorrow.  We open at 9a and close at 3p.  The only problem is, how will you get here?  

This pisses me off.

Maybe I shouldn't get pissed about this, but I am.  The Tulsa Run will be shutting down every street around here, making it damn near impossible to come to the DoubleShot.  The race starts at 9a, and it's 9.3 miles, so you can expect some of the walkers to take three hours to finish.  I know they don't care that our business will suffer on one of our busiest days of the week.  So I'm going to tell you one way we figured out you can get here tomorrow.  It's inconvenient, but you should be able to get here.

The race goes from downtown on 3rd and Boulder to 15th, east to Utica, south to 21st to the River, up the river and back downtown on Denver to 2nd Street.  See a map of the course here.  From my house, I think it's almost impossible to get here, so I'll probably ride my bike.  But hopefully you won't be in the same predicament.

If you can get downtown, north of 15th street and east of Denver, you can come to the DoubleShot.  For those of you southeast of 21st and Utica, that's going to mean you probably have to go all the way to Lewis and then back down 11th to downtown.
At that point, go south on Cincinnati (one block east of Boston).  At 13th street, you'll need to be in the far right lane because all the lanes go in different directions.  The left lanes enter the BA expressway.  Second to right goes to 15th and you'll be stuck there forever.  The right lane goes over the expressway, over 15th street, and sets you down on 18th at a stoplight.  Turn right there, go one block to Boston.  Turn right again and we'll be there on your left where we always are.

Maybe if you get close, you can park on the other side of 21st street and walk 3 blocks to the DoubleShot.  The rivertrail that goes through Maple Ridge from 31st St to Maple Park goes right by here.  That's a nice walk.

Anyway, sorry about the difficulties.  I'm not happy about it.  But hopefully you'll find a way to drink delicious DoubleShot Coffee tomorrow.
