Let's get up early, beat the crowds and meet at the opposite side of Warner Bayou Boat Ramp shortly before 07:30 AM. Please don't park your car in dedicated trailer slots. If the parking lot is full, you can park parallel to the road on the grass.

Our ride will take us along Warner West Bayou, Palma Sola Bay and through Cortez before we head to Coquina Beach where we will have breakfast with a view at the Coquina Beach Cafe. Don't expect a fancy menu but a couple of simple options.

After breakfast we will walk around the Coquina Beach Market which will open at 10:00 AM.

We will return with a short break at Bridge Street Pier and continue via Holmes Beach and Robinson Preserve. Depending on the heat of the day we might walk a 1.7 mile loop within the Robinson Preserve Expansion. The trail will be rubber coated and easy on your knees and feet. We should be able to see white pelicans and lots of other migratory birds at this time of the year.

After that we ride back to the parking lot.

As always, this will be a social event and no race. Please don't schedule anything thereafter as it might take longer than expected.
Average speed will be 10 to 12 mph but fair to assume that the island will be busy even on a Wednesday and we will have to slow down a little. However, please make sure you are able to cover the distance which also includes four bridges along the way.
Carry sufficient water, sunscreen and check your bike before the ride.

As always, if you have questions or need directions, you can contact us at (917)774-0941.
