This is Tom Bargnesi of the Florida Freewheelers from my email
alias. The ride you are looking for is the Hills are Alive ride
with 3,900' of climbing over 45 miles.
This ride includes
Sugarloaf (Hard), the Wall (Med), Buck Hill
Road (Easy to Med), and
Grassy Lake Road (Easy to Med) for 2,600'
of climbs. Once back into
Clermont, the ride also includes a 6
mile loop in town that
includes Forest Wood Hill (Easy), Hospital
Hill (Med), Citrus Tower
Hill (Med), Northridge Hill (Hard),
Southridge Hill (Med), and Skyridge
Hill (Hard) which covers
1,300' of climb. Our 6-Gap group usually
repeats this in-town
loop 2 to 3 times. Here is the link to the map
from our website.

recommend that you get an early start to get back before the
temperature gets too high.
The Windermere Roadies usually ride
from Windermere Elementary
School on Saturdays but their hills ride,
like ours, is usually
reserved for Sundays.
Our Hills are Alive
ride usually occurs on Sunday mornings at 0700
from the County Line
Station of the West Orange Trail.
Unfortunately, this week we have a
special event planned for
Sunday morning so that ride will not be led
by the club.
I would love to meet and ride with you guys and gals
this Saturday
except I am slated to lead the Thrill Hill Excursion a
little
further north into
Leesburg and
Umatilla.
If you need any more information, please give
me a call at (407)
592-0033 or drop me another line. Enjoy your trip
