The Saddle Tramps will ride Wednesday October 12th, from the Tower Square Publix. We will ride south on SW 75th St, then east on SW 85th Ave to FL-121 (Williston Road), which we will take southwest all the way to the rest stop in Williston at the intersection with 27/41. We will resume going northwest on 27/41 taking it to Archer, and then take Archer Road northeast back to the Tower Square Publix; a very simple route, almost all in bike lanes.

This is a ~36 mile ride with mostly smooth roads and no significant hills. Restrooms are available at the Publix and at the rest stop, a gas station/convenience store in Williston. Meet at 8:00AM for a departure at 8:15AM.

Expect level-ground pedaling speeds between 13-17 mph, and an average speed of 14-15.5 mph on this relatively flat and easy route. This is a no-drop friendly ride; nobody needs to stress themselves to keep up with the leader or faster riders, because we will stop and wait for everyone to regroup at each major turn. Helmets are required, suntan lotion is recommended, as many parts of this ride are in sunny open areas.

The Tower Square Publix is located on the west side of town at the intersection of SW 75th (Tower Road) and Archer Road; Archer road has bike lanes from I-75 westward and RTS bus service on route 75 which stops at Tower Square. If you drive, please park on the south most (Archer Rd) side of the parking lot well away from the Publix store entrance.
