This is posted on a weekly e-mail I receive about rides of all sorts in Central FL. Most are weekend rides but this one has some midweek;
"The Villages: the group leaves from the parking lot opposite Panera's on Main Street in The Villages (Lady Lake, Florida) during the summer at 7.30 a.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and joins with a few riders at the Santiago recreational center for an 8:00 a.m. departure time. There is also a ride on Sundays leaving Panera's at 8.30 a.m. Starting December 1, all rides (except Sunday's) leave at 8:30 a.m. (Santiago at 9:00 a.m.) -- the Sunday ride leaves at 9:30 a.m. All rides finish at Panera's for coffee. The typical distance is about 40 miles at an average pace of 18 mph."
The Villages is not far from the FL Turnpike/I-75 intersection between Orlando & Ocala.
