For the 29-mile route, Wishbone Pass is your turn around; so go back to the start via Running Bear Road, Route 2153, Burger, Zachary, Sherman, Windsor, N Elm/HWY77, Riney Rd., left on Bonnie Brae, and a quick right into Bronco Way at Denton High School, where you will enter into the campus and find the Celebration Station.
