28 miles of biking for a nice cup of coffee

Let's beat the heat and start early! Traffic should be light, you will be there in no time.

07:00 AM: We will meet at Ashton Trailhead (4281 Ashton Rd., Sarasota)
Please arrive a few minutes early, so we can leave on time.

We will ride south on the Legacy Trail for about 14 miles to Venice. During our ride we will have to cross over 3 bridges (at Clark Rd., Laurel Rd. and Venice Ave) but we will take a few water breaks.

Once there, we will grab a coffee (and/or whatever else you might prefer) at Lord-Higel's Coffee House situated in Venice's oldest and Sarasota County second oldest house (see picture).
The surrounding porch with its rocking chairs is simply the best!

We will ride back the same way.

Total distance will be 28 miles at a pace of 10 to 12 mph. All bikes will be fine. Please be aware of the bridges!

Make sure you bring along plenty of water (ideally with electrolytes) and protect yourself from the sun. Please also check your bikes before the ride.

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