Any Tampa area BTers interested in doing a group ride on Sunday?  We could go to 1-Flatwoods (close but windy) 2- Suncoast (far but long) or 3-San Antonio (also far but can do hills) Let me know if you are interested and where you would like to bike as well as times..I'm thinking morning would be best.

Sue, Jessica told me that Suncoast is a nice, long ride (which I need!). I was thinking about giving that one a try on Sunday.

I"m game. Suncoast is a drive, yes.  It's long, yes but you can cut back anytime.  It's where Tom and I crashed and rode the 11 miles back with blood running down his head. ugggg.....

Never done San Antonio, I believe they have group rides up there too.  

anyways, I'm game up so far.  Of course, that's pending the kids have a place to go (stay).  I'm not part of the challenge, but I'll join anyway.   

yeah, it's damn hot, so let's start early.

Ok Sounds like the 4 of us are in for Suncoast anyway.  I have only been there once and don't know the trail all that well.  I like Flatwoods, but it will be nice to do something different We can use Jessica's suggested entery point if that is OK with everyone and what time do you want to meeti up? 7, 7:30; 8 am?  Just let me know. -SMO

thr trail basically is a straight shot up North/South parallel to what I think is the Veterans XWay.  It's fenced, though.  Has overpasses over major intersections except a few.  There's a few offshoots to a park (JB Starkey) and a new housing development going up last time I was there (a while).  I can't remember which trailhead I liked better- I think it was the second one, the one at 54- because from Lutz it's 2 miles before a crossing, and the 54 has a parking lot.  The trail is  paved, smooth. Has water coolers just like at Flatwoods. 

I'll post again closer to Sunday if I can come or unless I get a phone from someone, I'll call them.

Mile markers too.

OK, I think the 54 trailhead will be easier for all of you to get to as you can get off the Suncoast at 54. The parking lot is just west of the suncoast xpressway on the north side of the road. I am happy to start anytime up till 8 am or so if those of you that are farther away don't want to wake up so early. Sue, if you are coming from I-4, take it to 75 north, get off at SR56 Land O Lakes and go west. 56 turns into 54, keep going for maybe 8 miles or so till Suncoast.

My plan calls for a 3 hour ride, so that is my rough plan. I am starting from my house so I will have a 5 mile head start. If we go to Spring Hill Drive it is roughly 45 miles, and there is a 7 Eleven we can stop at to refuel. Otherwise we can go to County Line Rd which a few miles shorter each way and they have a bathroom there. Or we can do a 2o something ride through JB Starkey. There is a potty there too. Can you tell I have had 4 kids and need to know where the potty is all the time??
