Great weather for today's ride, picked up Carl, Bob and Janelle at 7:30 then met Ralph and Barry at 8:00. Our train was right on time and after we boarded they determined that the train was broke so we had to get off and wait for a replacement. After getting on the replacement it was a quick ride to the DeBary Station where we got off for the serious part of our ride. From DeBary it was a tough ride into the wind for about 18 miles. There are no serious hills on this ride but we did encounter some descent rollers that tested the legs and with the wind it became a bit of a slog. The north bound train hardly had anyone on board but that wasn't the case with the south bound ride. Each car can seat 130 to 200 people depending on the layout and we had 4 cars that were totally full to the point that some people had to get off to let us get off at the Longwood station. The trail from Blue Springs to Beresford Park is beautiful and we did pass 2 deer on the side of the trail.
