Morning dew adorns a spider web along the
Gainesville Hawthorne Trail
Saturday March 4, Strays will ride from the
dirt lot
at Boulware Springs for a 32 -33 mile ride on Kincaid Rd
to the
western edge of Newnans Lake and then clockwise around the lake, passing
thru
Windsor and Rochelle and returning to Boulware via the GH Trail. We may
also
visit Owens Illinois park if the group is
interested.
Arrive at 10 am for a 10:15
start.
Speeds 6 - 28 mph, depending on terrain.
Average
speed has typically been 13 mph in recent times.
This
ride is mostly flat, other than a few hills at the beginning on
Kincaid
Rd.
There will be an official convenience store / rest room stop at
Tim's
Fast Nickel at about the 20 mile point.
Post ride there will be no restaurant visit this time, since most of
the
Strays will be heading to the Annual Meeting to eat mass quantities in the
early
evening.
Helmets are REQUIRED on all Strays rides,
mirrors
recommended, headphones forbidden.
If you haven't been on a ride with the Strays before, please read this
