Im starting a morning ride on sat. It will be a pretty short ride, only about 20 to 25 miles, ave about 17.5 to 19 mph. It will very from week to week in terms of where it goes. It will be started at 7:15, and will leave on time. I hope that you will show for this ride, its always nice in the morning.
Is this ride gonig to be a roaming location ride? Will this ride start at the Phillips store one week and then somewhere else the next? If this ride has a changing start location, it could be beneficial. I know that I am all talk, but Jim and I had talked about other start locations before. If you decided to take the lead on this Greg, that would be great. There are some routes ont he Southside that are nice. We coudl actually do a bridge repeat ride on the Wonderwood Expressway. I have heard it is very nicce. Plus the route from FCCJ South by the Town Center all the way to Gate Parkway is a nice and safe ride as well. I will get with you, hopefully I will actaully be able to ride. I am at the firestation this Saturday though. Yes Jim, yet another excuse to not go on a ride. (TRAINER TIME FOR TOMMY)
I would be very interested in the Saturday morning ride. Monday evenings are hit and miss due to work and family, but I start a new schedule on Monday so I should be able to attend the Monday night ride now. I also like the thought of different ride location start points and I have heard good things about the Wonderwood route as well.
Tommy, were do you ride from when you leave the college? Do you take it into the business park across the street and then go down St. John's Bluff? If you going down to Gate Parkway, you can add an additional 7 or 15 miles by crossing Southside and looping to AC Skinner or evening going down to Baymeadows. I ride back that way a lot. My UNF loop is 38-45 miles based on the exact route, but there is water and rest spots along the way. http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/fl/jacksonville/63193237
Here is a FCCJ South - Baymeadows loop map I just did http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/fl/jacksonville/342778944075 I am going to have to try this one Saturday or Sunday morning.
Here is another one that is 40 miles: http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/fl/jacksonville/115610379121
