North Rides

MEET: At the Chevron station on the corner of NW 43^rd St and 53^rd Ave.

PARK: In the Chevron station, along NW 43^rd St. Start at the north end and work south.  Do not park in the slots alongside the station or along NW 53^rd Ave. Overflow parking is along the short east-west street south of the station. Please watch where you are standing; do not block the flow of traffic going to the pumps.

TIME: Meet at 7 am (EDT), ride briefing and introductions at 7:10, depart at the conclusion of the briefing.

THE PLAN:  12th Annual Gliders Training Century, a ride over the Santa Fe Century course. Stops in High Springs, Watermelon Park, and Worthington Springs.  This is a regular club ride – no SAG support.  

• Plan on purchasing a drink at each rest stop.
• Bring food you plan to eat with you to minimize cost.
• Keep speed down to 20 mph for the first three legs so that we can keep everyone together.
• The ride is around 98 miles; if you don’t ride to the start, you’ll need to do a mile out and back on Millhopper at the end if you want to round out the century.
• Sunrise is at 7:01 am.  If you ride to the ride you may want a blinky, or full lighting if you are coming from some distance.
• The Weather Cannel predicts winds building to 8 mph from the West.
• Don’t forget to put on your sun screen!
