Casual Bike Ride, Wed March 2, 2016, 3-5 pm

Casual Bike Ride – Wednesday, March 2, 2016, 3-5 pm
Join us for an 8-10 mile casual ride at Lake Beresford Park starting in Deland, Florida and heading toward Blue Springs on one of the Spring-to-Spring trail routes. It is a paved, off-road trail. We will first do the 2 mile loop trail to be sure everyone is on board with equipment and conditioning. We run 8-10 miles per hour (D-C Class- no one left behind!) Then we will head for Blue Springs for about 2.8 miles. Expect a few very moderate hills. (Florida ain’t ALL flat.) A little rest and back to Beresford Park. A total of about 8-10 miles depending on the group. Helmets and water required. Adults only. Meet at Roger’s Jeep. There are restrooms and water at Beresford Park. May see a variety of wildlife along the way. Heavy rain or lightning cancels. Bring a couple of bucks in case we want to go into Blue Springs State Park to see the manatees.
Reservations appreciated so we don’t leave without you.
Roger
