Directions to the School: The
online Mapquest and Google Maps ARE WRONG! They do not reflect
recent construction at US 17 and Duval Road. If
coming by I 95, take the appropriate Exit 363 to go eastbound on
Duval
Road. Within ¼ mile, bear left at the
“Y” intersection. At Duval and US 17, do NOT turn. Go
straight across at that light. East of
US 17 the road becomes Duval
Station Road. It will wind first to the right and then left
and then straight eastbound to the
school. The First Coast High
School is on your right about a mile (across from Publix). In
the event you go in the wrong direction at the “Y”
intersection, you will not be able to cross US 17. In that case, go LEFT on
US 17 northbound, and turn RIGHT at the light – onto Duval Station
Road.
This Sunday, the North Florida Bicycle Club will host
the 18th annual Tour de Forts through beautiful Northeast Florida. This fully SAG’d,
motorcycle escorted event features rides of from 18 to 105 miles, with maps
and marked roads. Breakfast snacks, rest stops and lunch afterward are
included. Day of the ride registration is $45.00. It may be too late to get
the T-shirt, but you will
still be able to say,
“Been there, done that…!”
