I will be doing one of my regular
routes that starts from the Jonesville area and rides in the direction of
Alachua, High Springs and Newberry. I typically ride in the early morning,
within the 6:00am to 8:00am window, leaving from the Jonesville Publix
Parking lot and arriving back in time to pack up, head home and get ready
for work during the week. I have a few different routes that I ride ranging
from 20-40 miles, and my typical average pace is 18mph with some areas
reaching up to 22-23mph.
If you are interested, please let
me know, as I would like to know if I should look for anyone before I head
out on my next ride on Friday morning. I usually do these early morning
rides twice per week, always on Monday and then on either Thursday or
Friday. Please meet me at the Publix parking lot on the east side of the
Jonesville Publix between CR241 and Empower Park's Campus Credit Union
Building and behind the Walgreen's at 6:00am for a 6:20am
departure. I drive an old brown Dodge Ram truck and I always wear a
bright fluorescent colored jersey. Please bring blinky lights if
you have them as the sun is not fully up yet when departing, even though it
is light enough to see well. Of course, helmets are required. Weather is
usually cooler in the morning but humidity also tends to be higher too so
be sure to dress accordingly.
This Friday's route will start from the Jonesville Publix and head
north on CR241 to NW 78th Avenue (which has plenty of rolling hills) and
head west to CR337 south (pretty much flat) to Newberry Road, then east
back to the Publix. Typical time is about 120 minutes with no stops (mainly
because there won't be anywhere to stop during this ride so bring
plenty of fluids).
I
look forward to riding with any others this early Friday morning! I think I
covered everything, but if you have any questions, please don't
hesitate to contact me!
Regards,
David Bello
