The plan is to ride the trail from the North end down to the Orlando Gardens parking lot on the South end, re-group and ride back. The overall distance will be about 16 miles with the option to add a little fun going up the hill into Clydesdale Park if there’s interest. This will be an “at your own pace” ride as we have a variety of riders in the group. Afterwards, we will very likely find a local establishment to relax and grab a bite to eat.

What to Bring:

Helmet
Tire repair tools
Water

…and that’s about it!!!

We will clip in and hit the trail no later than 5:45. If you arrive later than that…start riding South. If you don’t catch us, you’ll eventually come across us riding back.

Access to the parking lots on the "north" end (there are 2 lots) is off of Big Bend Rd. From Hwy 44 & Big Bend, go South to the first stop light and turn left (at the corner of the QT store). floolw that rd to the top of the hill and turn right and you'll be at the trail parking lot. If you are unfamiliar with anyone else in the group, know that I'll be looking for members as I ride around between the two lots. If you have any other questions, feel free to drop me an e-mail thru the site.

If anyone is not familiar with the trail, you can log onto www.bikegrantsrail.com, click on the parking tab and then click on the "K" marker and it will show you exactly where the northern most parking lot is located.

I've only been on Grants trail near Orlando Gardens, so I am a bit unfamiliar. Can you tell me more specifically where the north end is? Thank you!

I will likely be there early (around 4:45-5:00PM) and do a little riding before heading back to the lot to meet with the rest of the group.
