Truffle Trail Faster Group! 35 Mi, 17-20+ Rolling
Details
This is a 35-mile paved out and back trail ride starting from Winn-Dixie (Odessa-Gunn & Van Dyke) to the Racetrac at HWY 52 and back. Lately we have been stopping at the end of the trail and not going to Racetrac. Please bring snack and water.
The 17-20+ish Rolling group has the goal of getting in a top-notch workout by maintaining upper-level speeds. We typically do an informal paceline so everyone can get some rest but our main goal is to just have fun. JOIN US!
We will cross Van Dyke from the parking lot and pick up the Upper Tampa Bay Trail. Then we will work our way through the Brooker Creek Headwaters Nature Preserve and head north along the trail to the Lutz Lake Fern Trailhead. We will continue past the trailhead and pick up the Suncoast trail and head all the way north to the Racetrac on Hwy 52 and take a Refreshments and facility break at the Racetrac on Hwy 52. Then we will complete our ride south, back to Winn Dixie!
If you sign up and can't make it, please have the courtesy to remove yourself from the event prior to the start or call me. That way we aren't waiting needlessly for someone that is not attending.
