On Saturday March 29, Strays will
ride 28
- 30 miles in the Alachua, Santa Fe, Lacrosse

will pass the miniature horses on the way, and may stop at the Cellon
Oak
park if anyone is on the ride who hasn't already seen it.
Arrive at Velvet Yates home at 9 am to depart at
9:15.
Speed 2.5 - 46 mph, depending on terrain.
Average speed has typically been 12 -
14 mph in recent times. This ride is mostly flat except for a
few
hills near Alachua.
There will be two convenience store / rest room stops, one in
Alachua,
and one in Lacrosse.
Post ride the hungry will have a picnic lunch under the
big Oak
tree in Velvets yard. Bring something to eat, a drink and a
folding chair. There will be room in the frig for your food and
drinks.
No pace lines, no racing, no wheel sucking, just a fun social
ride.
