The Saddle Tramps
will ride Wednesday October
5th,
from the Williston
Road Publix. We will ride southwest on
Williston Rd to SW 85th Ave, then west to SW 75th street, where we will go
north
to Archer Rd, then ride southwest to Archer on SR24 (Archer Road), turn
south
onto 27/41 and ride a few blocks to CR346, where we turn east and ride
to
CR346A and take that north and then east back to Williston Rd, which we
will
take north back to the Publix.
This is a ~30
mile ride with mostly smooth roads and no significant
hills.
Restrooms are available at the Publix and at the rest stop
in Archer.
Meet at 8:00AM for a departure at 8:15AM.
Expect level-ground pedaling speeds between 13-17
mph,
and an average speed of 13-15 mph on this relatively flat
route. This is a no-drop friendly ride; nobody needs
to
stress themselves to keep up with the leader or faster riders,
because
we will stop and wait for everyone to regroup at each
major
turn. Helmets are required,
suntan
lotion is recommended, as many parts of this ride are in sunny
open
areas.
The Williston Road Publix is located at the intersection
of
34th Street and Williston Road. If you drive to the ride, please park
on
the 34th Street side of the parking lot well away from the Publix
entrance. Restrooms and water are available at the store after
7:00AM, and
a McDonalds is adjacent for simulated breakfast food.
If you would like to receive a preview map of the
ride,
or a Garmin .tcx file of the route, please email Ed at the address
below.
This ride will be lead by Ed Gardner, due to our
fearless
leader, Melinda Koken, still wandering around in the rain somewhere in
Virginia,
or Maryland, or Delaware, actual location unknown.
