WE WILL RIDE THE LEGACY TRAIL OUT OF VENICE, FLORIDA
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT RIDEN THIS TRAIL BEFORE, IT IS A WIDE, WELL MAINTAINED,
PAVED TRAIL RUNNING FROM VENICE TO SARASOTA.
MEETING AND START LOCATION WILL BE AT LEGACY PARK IN VENICE:
Click here: Legacy Park
395 E. VENICE AVE
VENICE, FL 34285
PARK AND GATHER BT THE RESTROOMS LOCATED EAST OF THE HISTORIC TRAIN
STATION. ALLOW 2 HOURS DRIVE TIME FROM SANIBEL TO ADJUST FOR TRAFFIC.
THIS WILL BE AN UP AND BACK RIDE WITH RIDERS CHOOSING THEIR OWN DISTANCE
AND PACE.
I ANTICIPATE THAT THERE WILL BE TWO GROUPS RIDING DEPENDING ON WHAT
DISTANCES ARE CHOSEN.
THE LONGEST RIDE WOULD BE TO PAYNE PARK AT THE END OF THE PATH IN SARASOTA
WHICH IS A TOTAL OF 38 MILES ROUND TRIP. THIS WOULD BE GROUP ONE WITH
DISTANCE FROM 30+ MILES.
THE SECOND GROUP WOULD BE THOSE WHO WISH TO RIDE LESS THAN 30 MILES AND
AT A SLOWER PACE.
WE HAVE A 1:00 PM LUNCH RESERVATION AT PINCHERS:
900 VENETIA BAY BLVD
VENICE, FL 34285
THIS IS NEAR THE RIDE START AND EASILY ACCESSED FROM THE TRAIL.
I WILL HAVE SIGNS MARKING THE CONNECTOR TO VENETIA BAY BLVD LOCATED
BETWEEN MCKENNY HOME CARE AND A PARKING LOT JUST NORTH OF THE ROUTE 41
FLY-OVER.
IN ORDER FOR ALL OF US TO BE AT THE RESTAURANT AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME
TIME TO SOCIALIZE TOGETHER, I AM RECOMMENDING TWO START TIMES:
- GROUP 1 SHOULD MEET AND BEGIN RIDING BY 9:30 AM
- GROUP 2 SHOULD MEET AND BEGIN RIDING BY 10:30 AM
THERE WILL BE A RIDE LEADER FOR EACH GROUP.
IF ANYONE WISHES TO RIDE MORE MILES AFTER LUNCH THEY CAN HEAD SOUTH FROM
THE TRAIN STATION START.
IN ORDER FOR US TO PROVIDE A HEAD COUNT YOU WILL NEED TO SIGN UP FOR THE
RIDE ON THE CLUB’S WEBSITE.
ON THE DAY YOU SHOULD SELECT WHICH GROUP YOU WISH TO RIDE WITH. THIS IS
SO THE RIDE LEADERS CAN HAVE A HEAD COUNT SO NO ONE IS LEFT BEHIND.
THE CUT OFF FOR REGISTRATION WILL BE SUNDAY, JANUARY 19TH.
THIS IS ALWAYS A FUN RIDE FOR ALL LEVELS OF CLUB RIDERS AND I HOPE EVERYONE
WILL CONSIDER JOINING THE RIDE. A REMINDER WILL BE SENT OUR THE WEEK PRIOR.
PLEASE CONTACT ME IF ANY QUESTIONS
