I'm planning a Glider type ride about 75 miles Saturday morning, leaving Gainesville soon after 7:00 a.m., arriving at O'Leno State Park around noon for the Picnic, then traveling about 25-28 miles home after the picnic. Speed will be between 17-19 mph. Anyone interested?

I plan on arriving at Hunter's Crossing Chevron around 7:00 am for a 7:15 departure. Civil twilight begins at 6:56 am and sunrise is at 7:21 am so we should have plenty of sunlight. It's supposed to be around 48 degrees at 7:00 am warming up to about 67 degrees by noon (estimated arrival time at O'Leno) and 71 by 3:00 p.m. (estimated finish time).

I plan on taking a new route. Let me know what you think...

1.9       74.2   C      Arrive at O'Leno Parking Lot (Eat Lunch)

These distances are NOT accurate, they are only approximations taken off a measuring line from a map on the Internet.

After Lunch (and a little play), travel down US 41 to CR 232 (or even 94th if you're feeling strong) to CR 241 to Millhopper to Chevron (about 28 miles or so)

Any takers...? Let me know what you think...

So far we will have three riders. I'll bring a few extra queue sheets for non-RSVPers.
