This week’s ride info: Please note this is a special out of town ride being posted.

Day: Saturday, November 13^th

Time: 7:30 am meeting, 7:45 am departure by car to caravan to the West Orange Trail in Clermont to ride a part of the Horrible Hundred route.

Meeting Place: Kangaroo, on the corner of SW 34^th St and Williston Road.

Route and Mileage: There are options from 35 to 50 miles under consideration and most likely a ride that is closer to the 50 miles will be selected. Tom Dickinson brought up the idea of doing this ride and is going to bring all the maps for the ride options to the meeting on Saturday morning so we can decide on exactly which route to do. Tom has ridden there a few times, so he’s our in-house expert and I’ll rely on his prior experience since I haven’t been there before. Also, if the ride sucks, blame it on Tom!!

We should arrive there around 9:30 or so and be on the ride before 10:00. Given the cooler mornings that should work out well. Following the ride we’ll find a place for lunch in the area. Tom tells me there are many to choose from.

Pace: The HighBees ride pace is about 16-17 MPH. This is a friendly, no drop ride; we re-group at all turns when needed.

If you are new to GCC and are looking for a weekly ride with a moderate pace and moderate distance, please feel free to join us.

Special Note: Since this is an out of town ride and we plan to carpool as much as possible, please reply and let me know if you are planning to do the ride and if you can take any other riders/bikes with you.
