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.

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. Email for a reservation since space is limited. Roger@RogerFulton.com.

October Treks - At Lime Hollow

We have several Fall hikes scheduled this October. All are on Sundays at 3 pm at Lime Hollow Nature Center, 338 Mclean Road, in Cortland, NY. If you are a part of the groups we are leading, you can sign up for them at Meetup.org. If we have additional openings on any of them, we will open them up to others who may want to attend. All of the events are free, but space is very limited and confirmed reservations, either through the Meetup venues, or through me personally, are required to attend any of the events.

October 4th, 2015 - A Fall Foliage Hike for the Meetup group, The Syracuse Area Outdoor Adventure Group. A 2.5 mile easy hike. As of this posting there is only one opening left, but you can go on the Waitlist if you are a member.

October 11th, 2015 - A Fall Foliage Hike for a Meetup group of BabyBoomers out of Syracuse. Enrollment is pretty open for this group since there is a conflicting foliage train ride through the Adirondacks scheduled at the same time. So there MAY be openings if it doesn't fill up.Also 2.5 miles.

October 18th, 2015 - A Fall Hike - The initial spots are for the Members of the Lime Hollow Nature Center. But if it doesn't fill up, spaces may be available.  

October 25th, 2015 - A Fall Hike - We are awaiting clearance to conduct another hike, and if we get it, it will be open to anyone. just make a reservation through me to secure a spot.

Even if you don't get into any of these hikes, you can always go out on your own. Our books on Short Hikes in the Finger Lakes Region can  be found on my webpage at: www.RogerFulton.com
