NEW: Bike Robinson Preserve

Robinson Preserve is over 600 acress of scenic coastline. We'll bike through mangrove trails, salt marshes and tidal creeks on a mixture of hard packed shell and asphalt. Along the way we'll stop to climb an observation tower to take in the views of the bay,visit Geraldson's Farm, a small farm in suburban Bradenton that sells fresh picked produce and a trip around The Nest, the newest section of Robinson Preserve.

The ride should be 10-12 miles at a relaxed pace of 10-12 mph.

Plan to arrive at least 10 minutes before the start time so you can be pedal ready at 9am.

After, join everyone for lunch at Floridays Woodfire Grill and Bar, 12332 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton, FL 34209 (Floridays-anna maria.com). Please answer the question about attendance.

BRING: road tested bike, helmet (mandatory), sunscreen, snack, water, etc.
