About this event

Join Terrence McLaughlin for a rustic and scenic gravel ride starting from Frostproof, FL to ride the red clay sand hills of central Florida. It’s a nice route with over 900’ of elevation. If you’ve ever wanted to explore the natural beauty of our area, join us on this month’s “third Saturday” gravel getaway.

Ride at a comfortable gravel pace and stay together as a group.
Warning: we may see wildlife and we may get dirty!

Our adventure rolls at 8:15 am.

??? This is a 42 mile route with a mix of rolling red dirt hills (960' elevation) and paved road sections. We'll start at the Frostproof Dunham Field/City Pier (restrooms available) and head out of town north to the rolling hills of citrus groves. We'll stop briefly for a group photo at the Graffiti Bridge/tunnel, then head south for a rest stop at Lake Reedy Park (restrooms & NO WATER). From there, we'll head south around Lake Reedy to visit Arbuckle WMA, then return back around the lake to our start.
