From Chandler’s excellent posting:

 

Let’s meet at the Trailhead in Trenton at 7:50 a.m. for an 8:00 a.m. start time on Saturday, Sept 11.  We will ride to the bridge and back, about 20 miles total.  If riders want to go farther, we can probably do that too.

 

The Nature Coast Trail is quiet and very safe.  It passes by scenic farms and an impressive prison.  The trail crosses the Suwannee River on the old railroad bridge, which has park benches, so you can stop and sit and watch the sturgeon jump.   If riders are interested, we can visit an old cemetery that has antebellum graves.

 

Following the ride,  we often gather at one of the local restaurants. The restaurants should be quiet until about 4 p.m. when the 90,000 football fans exit the game.

 

Everyone is welcome is come on this ride (of course, you must wear a bike helmet).  Don't worry about being slow, no one is slower than me and we never leave anyone behind.

 

The ride will be chaperoned by Chandler Otis who will ride at the back of the group to make sure no one gets lost.  He is also a bicycle mechanic who can help fix flat tires and help with any other mechanical problems.

 

Directions to Trenton Trailhead:  Go west on State Road 26 (University Avenue, Newberry Road) and go through Newberry and then to Trenton.  In Trenton, turn right at the traffic light (onto US 129), the Trailhead will be 1/4 mile after the turn on the left.  The Trailhead is the old train station.
