Daylight Savings Time, ⌚ Spring Forward Sunday.
Interested in a ride that leaves a little later than usual?
We'll meet at the Cape Haze Pioneer Trail Park parking lot in Pt. Charlotte and ride south along the Cape Haze trail, then across the causeway ($3 cash toll), and then down Gasparilla Island along the bike path to Boca Grande.
This is a casual, social, sightseeing ride to enjoy the spring weather and a beautiful island right in our own backyard!
We'll stop briefly at the southern end beach and the lighthouse and then have lunch around mile 19 at
Miller's Dockside Grille at the harbor. Since our usual off-trail lunch spot is still being repaired after Hurricane Milton, we'll stop at a new place. There is a bike rack and places near the building, but not in sight of the dining tables. I consider this location to be low risk for any problems, but if you are uncertain, I suggest you bring a lock.
I will call ahead to make a group reservation for us, so please RSVP by registering here by 3/7/25 11:59pm.
We'll finish with about 14 miles back to the parking lot.
