Strays stop for a picture on one of the Feagle Roads
October
8. Photo by Tom Sheehan.
Saturday Nov 19, Strays will ride 31 of the very
most
scenic miles of
the Santa Fe Century. This will include the Feagle roads. This portion is
never seen by people who do the 55 mile ride, or the Millhopper Ramble,
and is the very best of the entire Santa Fe Century..This is a repeat of the ride Strays did on October 8, but we may add a little variation from that ride.

Meet at 9:45 am for 10:00 am start.
NOTE the unusual start time to allow for driving and to allow
temps to
climb into the 50s. Our track will
be largely in
the sunshine on the first part of the ride, so we should be
comfortable.
Ride speed 6-28 mph. Typical average speed for Strays
in
recent times has been 14 mph. There are some decent hills
on
this ride, but mostly its flat.
Park in Myrtis (Watermelon Park area). This will be at corner of
the
convenience store parking lot at the intersection of US 441 - 41 and
county road 240. Park in the grassy area in the SW corner of the
intersection near the light. This way we will not interfere with the
business at the convenience store.

visit to Kelly's
horse farm for a water / restroom break. Bring your own mid
ride
snacks.
After the ride the hungry will head to Floyds Diner in High Springs
