Off-Road Biking Friday 01/20/17 3pm

To All;

This is an off-road ride on the dike trails at Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge in DeLeon Springs, FL. We will ride to see wildlife along 450 acres of ponds. We may cover up to seven miles of off-road trails, depending on the group. Hybrids or mountain bikes are recommended. No road bikes. Not much shelter so bring water and sunscreens. We’ll meet at 3 pm at the Myacca Parking Area on Mud Lake Road in Deleon Springs. Mud Lake Road turns to dirt and then back to pavement after the railroad tracks. Then your first right.

 Just let me know if you will join us via return email. Bring a friend or two.

My contact info is below if you have any issues or problems.

Hope to see some of you there,

Roger
