Saturday February 3, Strays will cycle the middle portion of the Withlacoochee Rail Trail (the most scenic portion) between Inverness (Lake Henderson Trestle) and Nobleton (intersection of 476) for a 32 - 35 mile ride. We may also ride some pleasant shaded side roads,as an alternative to the trail on the way back, if traffic is light. We will likely stop at any sights of interest, visit trail bike shops, and take pictures of flowers, scenery and animals.

Arrive at the Inverness Trail Headquarters parking lot in Inverness at 10 am for a 10:15 departure.

Speeds 2.5 - 46 mph, depending on terrain. Average speed has typically been 13 - 14 mph in recent times for the Strays. This ride is quite flat.

Post ride the hungry will head to a local restaurant, probably Angelo's Pizzeria in Inverness.

No pacelines, no racing, no wheel sucking, just a fun social ride.

Helmets are REQUIRED on all Strays rides, mirrors recommended, headphones forbidden.

Safety protocols are always observed on Strays rides
