We may head off the trail 1 mile to visit Tims Fast Nickel. . This is a ride in the range of 32 - 34 miles. We may stop at the scenic overlooks if anyone is interested.

Meet at Boulware Springs at the dirt parking lot at 11 am for an 11:15 departure. The temperature should be above 50 degrees by then.

Ride speed range 6 - 28 mph, varying with terrain.

Average speed in recent times has typically been approaching 13 - 14 mph, This ride is pretty flat except for a couple of small hills near the Gainesville end..
