portion of the Withlacoochee Rail Trail (the most scenic portion)
between Inverness (Lake Henderson Trestle) and Nobleton (intersection of 476)
for a 33- 35 mile ride.
Strays may also ride some pleasant shaded side roads,as an alternative to
the trail on the way back, if traffic is light. Strays often stop at
any sights of interest, visit trail bike shops, and take pictures of flowers,
scenery and animals.

Kushner.

at 8 am for an 8:15 departure.
