Saturday – October 8^th:

The LoBees will join Barb Willis’ Pink Ribbon Ride to promote Breast Cancer Awareness month.

MEET: The Walgreens drug store in Alachua at the intersection of 441 and Main Street.

TIME: Meet at 8:15 am for roll-out at 8:30 am

PARK: Please park only in the spaces along the northeast corner of the parking lot.

ROUTE & MILEAGE: Total route mileage is 60 miles with rest stops at Miles 25 and 45. We will head north on 241, ride through Providence and visit the beautiful northern portion of the Santa Fe Century route before heading back to Alachua. This route features the famous Mebane Hill, but is otherwise relatively tame. There will be an alternate route of 31 miles (rest stop at Mile 16) available for those who need to finish earlier. Maps will be provided at the start of the ride. This is a B-level ride with an average ride speed of 14 - 15 mph.

Expect about 30 miles at about 15 MPH on the flats.

As always: helmets are mandatory, mirrors are recommended.

LoBees will obey all Florida cycling laws, a listing of which may be found here: http://gccfla.org/laws.html

Please call or email with any questions.

Thanks… Bob
