Saturday, Feb. 18.
9:00 for a 9:15 start.
Meet at Flemington Community Park.
40 mile round trip to Archer.  Convenience store stop in Archer.  Brief tour of historic downtown Archer.
The LoBee speed is typically 15.5 to 16.5 mph.  We re-group at stop signs.  Nobody gets left behind.

To get to Flemington Park:

Travel south on I-75 to the Micanopy exit 374. Follow 234 (Angle Road) west and south until it becomes 329 in Marion county. Continue on 329. The Flemington park will be on the right shortly before reaching the intersection of 318. The distance from the exit off I-75 in Micanopy to the Flemington park is approximately 7 miles.

The park has restrooms.

Another way:
Follow I-75 to Irvine exit 388. Exit going west on 318. Follow 318 for 3.2 miles until the intersection of 329. Turn right on 329 going north. Flemington park will be on your left in a quarter mile.

LoBee Rules and riding tips:

1.  A mirror is highly recommended.  If you have one on your car you need one on your bike!!!

2.  Helmets required.  Headphones prohibited.

3;.  "Pacelines" are not used.  We may ride single file much of the time, but high speed, tight formations will not be employed, due to the safety hazards they can create among casual riders.

4.  Bike lanes  -  Whenever bike lanes are provided, LoBees are expected to ride there, and not in traffic lanes.

5.  On roads where no bike lane or paved shoulder is provided, keep to the right.  In no passing zones stay single file.

6.  Each rider is responsible for his or her own safety.  Avoid calling "clear", "car", etc. when approaching intersections.  It may be clear for you but not necessarily clear for all who can hear your call.  ("car" sounds a lot like "clear" for most of us guys over 40!!)

7.  Communicate with other riders!  Yell "slowing" or "stopping", "on your left", "car back", etc.

8.  Out-of-town guests are welcome when accompanied by a LoBee sponsor.  Local residents will be expected to join the club in order to ride.  We will have club entry forms available before each ride.

10.  Always ride safely!
