Bike Payne Park to Osprey Junction & a French Breakfast

Those who stay in the area year-round need some exercise even during the hotter months😅. That's why we will combine a French breakfast with a bike ride (25 miles r/t).

There is free parking (in the shade) at the public parking garage on 2150 Ringling Boulevard right next to Payne Park.

We will meet at the northern end of Payne Park (where the restrooms are) shortly before 07:00 AM.

From there, we will ride our bikes on the Legacy Trail for 12 miles to Osprey Junction Trailhead. Along the way we will make several stops to hydrate, please bring lots of water (ideally with electrolytes), you will need it.

After a short break we will return the same way. Once we hit 9.5 miles we will leave the Legacy Trail and ride over to Claudie's for a delicious breakfast.
We should be there by 10:00 AM.

The restaurant can handle up to 20 people at once. For more, choices will be limited.

We will have about 3 miles left to get back to our cars.

Speed will be 10 - 12 mph, all bikes are fine.

This will be a social event and no race. However, we still want to get a little bit of exercise, so you must be able to ride 25 miles at a speed of 10 - 12 mph .

Please make sure you wear sunscreen, check your bike before the ride and bring along plenty of water. Please don't schedule anything right after as the ride and/or breakfast might take longer than expected. We don't want to rush it, if you are short on time, you will be on your own.

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