A fixer upper (or tearer downer) along Feagle
Road
Saturday Sept 9 , Strays will meet in Myrtis to ride
32 of the most scenic miles of the Santa Fe
Century. This will include the Feagle roads. This portion is never seen by
people who do the 55 mile ride, or the Millhopper Ramble, and is the very best
of the entire Santa Fe Century. This is a ride Strays do about twice a
year.
Meet at 8:15 am for an 8:30
am start.
Ride speed range 5 - 36 mph, varying with
terrain.
Average speed in recent times has typically
been approaching 14 mph, This ride has a few
moderate hills.
There will be a convenience store / rest room opportunity at the
beginning of the ride, and a visit to Kelly's Horse Farm at about the 15
mile point. Bring your own mid-ride snacks.
After the ride the hungry will head to Floyd's Diner in High Springs for
lunch if the weather is suitable for eating outside, otherwise we will probably
go to Conestoga or P'diddles in Alachua. Other suggestions for good restaurants
always considered.
No pace lines, no wheel sucking, no racing, just a fun social ride.
Helmets are REQUIRED on all Strays
rides, mirrors recommended, headphones
forbidden.
Safety protocols are always observed on Strays
rides
