Where is Janette St? Monday night rides

http://www.phillymtb.org/Events/730PM-Janette-St.html refers to Janette Street.  I can't find that on Google maps.  Or Mapquest.  Can someone point me to it please?

If you follow Green Lane from Ridge north and it curves around near the park, Janette is the gravel road that goes from the horse stables to Forbidden drive.  It is labeled Janette street down at Forbidden drive.

It's here Google shows Jannettee on the other side of Monastery Ave.

Another way is to take Monestary Ave off of Henry - it doesn't pass through Henry so you can only turn on to it in one direction - if you are going toward the City on Henry, you take a right, away, left.  It is a small but well labelled street.  Monestary is right at the bottomish of a hill, not far from Walnut.  After you turn onto Monestary off Henry, take an immidiate right on to Janette. You'll see the park entrance on your right, and if you go Monday night, you'll see a bunch of cars and bikers.  See you there!

Re: Where is Janette St? Monday night rides

Thank you for your help.  However, I'm still lost.  Can someone please stick a pin into a Google map and say: this is where we meet?

Note the main problem: spelling of the name.

On the map, it is Jannette

On the ride page, it is a single N, not a double N.

Here is the street:  http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=115376119403106089489.0004736287450a5962110&ll=40.032708,-75.209398&spn=0.008083,0.013797&t=h&z=16

However, the above link conflicts with the descriptions given above and my own knowledge of the meeting place (however, I've only seen Jannette street when riding IN the park, never from outside the park).

Thank you

If you plan to come tonight, don't forget to bring a light as it obviously gets dark right around 7:30 now that fall is upon us.
