Withlacoochee Rails to Trails Ride
Rather than start a new thread I thought I'd just provide a link so everyone can reply if they're registered. Maybe we could all meet up somewhere (put a face with a name) and ride together for part of the ride.

I got to the ride at 7:40. Most of the group left before I got there. Yay. Looked around for anyone I "knew" from BF but didn't see any familiar faces or bikes so took off and headed south around 8:10. Stopped at each rest stop and looked around but no familiar faces or bikes. Turned around at Ridge Manor and headed for Inverness (without riding over the SR50 overpass ).
Rode the Cannondale a total of 50.5 miles. Longest ride I've done in a while.
The new bike is very comfy.

I realized we should have traded contact info. I got there before 7 and left just after 7:30. I am sorry I missed you. I only rode just under 30 miles. I would have been holding you back.
I was unprepared for the cold. The coldest morning we have had was about 72 and it was 51.

Got there at 6:20...COLD!!! We rode north at 7 AM...Dark and still COLD. We finished the 100 mile ride, but I made the group progressively slower, particularly from mile 80 until the finish. But a very nice day once the sun came up.

I was prepared for the cold. Wore a base layer under my jersey, arm warmers and a vest. Nice and toasty.
Took off the arm warmers and vest on my way north when at the rest stop near Nobleton.
Maybe we can get together some time in the future. I ride usually every other day of the week. Not this week. Too many appts. I'm riding Wed and Sat. Next week is clear so far.

Drove over from Orlando last Sunday and rode north beginning at Owensboro Junction and returning when I arrived at Floral Park. Was a bit nippy at 7:30AM bit eventually warmed up. A good number of solo riders and groups were on the trail. The great majority of which I encountered were friendly and courteous riders. A refreshing outing.
