The Saddle Tramps (Bees are welcome to join us) will ride Wednesday May
18th,
from the Jonesville
Publix. We will ride a clockwise loop
beginning on the tree covered SW15th Ave, down CR241 to SW 46th Ave,
going
west to SR337, then north through Newberry for a short convenience
store
rest stop, continuing north on 27/41 to NW 78th Ave and from there
east to
CR241, then south back to Jonesville.
This is a relatively easy 34 mile
ride
with mostly smooth roads and no difficult hill climbs. Maps will be
provided, but probably not needed. Bathrooms are available at the
Publix
and at the rest stop in Newberry. Meet at 8:00AM for a
departure at 8:15. Expect level-ground pedaling
speeds
between 13-16 mph, and an average speed of 13-14
mph.
This is a no-drop friendly recreational ride; Busy Bees who
want
to sprint ahead of the pack for training are welcome to do so, but
you should expect to rest while we stop and wait for
everyone to regroup at each major turn. Helmets
are required, suntan lotion is recommended, as this is a
relatively
sunny route through open rural countryside.
The Jonesville Publix is located on the west side
of
town at the intersection of CR241 and Newberry Road, both of which have
bike
lanes. If you drive, please park on the southmost (Newberry Rd)
side of
the parking lot well away from the Publix store.
This ride will be lead by Ed Gardner in the absence
of
our fearless leader Melinda Koken, who is off in Virginia pedaling her 80
pound
Kenworth tractor-trailer bike down the east coast laden with tents and
camping
gear.
