Upper Tampa Bay Trail to Suncoast Trail & Starkey Park

**NOTE** Changed to slightly later start time, since cooler weather has arrived.

We'll avg 14-16 mph on the Upper Tampa Bay Trail to the Suncoast Trail, then into Starkey Park for an "out and back" total of ~30 mi (those wishing to "push it" can go a bit faster and/or farther). We meet at the Aldi (former Winn Dixie) parking lot, which is adjacent to the Upper Tampa Bay Trailhead off Van Dyke at Gunn Hwy. FYI, the shopping center property manager (and towing service) have confirmed that cyclists are welcome to park there. They will ONLY tow cars left parked overnight.

Please arrive early enough to roll out at 8 AM. For those interested, we'll decide on a restaurant to meet after for breakfast/brunch. Restrooms available at the starting point (nearby Dunkin), and the Suncoast/Starkey trailhead.

We are recreational bicyclists. You must wear a helmet and exhibit safe riding. Come prepared with sunscreen, water, snack bar, etc., and a spare tube/flat kit. Cyclists are responsible for their own safety, and are subject to the same traffic laws as drivers.

Posting this as a repeating ride every Wed AM (weather permitting). For days that I'm not available to ride, somebody else can fill in as "host/leader."
