Strays still aren't sure what this sign along
Rachel
Blvd. (2054) references, but we are intrigued!
Saturday September 1, Strays will ride about
28 -
30 miles in the Lacrosse, Hainesworth and Alachua areas.
Included
will be several paved side roads and a tour through the Temple of the
Universe,
and maybe a visit to the Cellon Oak (if any rider hasn't already seen
it).
Arrive at Velvet Yates home at 8:15 am for an
8:30
departure. We should be through before noon.
Average speed has typically been 12 -
14 mph in recent times for the Strays. This ride
is relatively flat, except for the hill heading in to Alachua, and the
hill
at Woodlawn Oaks.
There will two rest room / convenience store stops on this ride.
No pacelines, no racing, no wheel sucking, just a fun social
ride.
Post ride the hungry can enjoy a picnic lunch under the big oak
tree
in Velvets yard.
Bring a sandwich or whatever, and a drink, to put in the frig.
Helmets are REQUIRED on all Strays rides,
mirrors recommended, headphones
forbidden.
Safety protocols are always observed
on
Strays rides
