Saturday February 17, Strays will cycle the
middle
portion of the Withlacoochee Rail Trail (the most scenic
portion)
between Inverness (Lake Henderson Trestle) and Nobleton (intersection of
476)
for a 33- 35 mile ride.
We may
also ride some pleasant shaded side roads,as an alternative to the trail on
the
way back, if traffic is light. We will likely stop at any sights of
interest,
visit trail bike shops, and take pictures of flowers, scenery and
animals.
Your leader for this ride will be Lydia
Winterberg.
Arrive at the Inverness Trail Headquarters parking lot in
Inverness at
10 am for a 10:15 departure.
Average speed has typically been 13 -
14 mph in recent times for the Strays. This ride is
quite
flat.
Post ride the hungry will head to a local restaurant,
probably Angelo's Pizzeria in Inverness.
No pacelines, no racing, no wheel sucking, just a fun social
ride.

mirrors recommended, headphones
forbidden.
Safety protocols are always observed
on
Strays rides
