I will be riding the Avalon Rd and Lake Hancock Rd section tomorrow with a friend. Anyone else going to be out there or want to join?

I have not plotted it yet. I will try to get on mapmyride and map it out for you. Also I hope to be back over there a couple more times in the next few weeks. Maybe you will be able to join me then.

I will try to give more notice next time.

I am open for a ride, even on an early afternoon during the week - I travel to Central FL 1-2x per wk and usually end my day around 2:30 or 3PM

Wish I could ride in central Florida during the week but unfortunately I can only make it over there on the weekend.

Here is the mapmyride link to the Florida 70.3 section I was riding. The race course has been slightly different the last couple years which included going straight on Avalon and then an out and back section. This is the hilly section of the course. Now “hilly” is a relative term. Most would not consider these hills.

Thanks!  That's close enough.

Clermont won't be an option, as I'll be spending my days w/ the family from 8am onward.  This 35 miler I could bang out if I was on the road at 5:30 or so (I do lots of long-distance stuff, so I have lights).  I grew up a few miles from Clermont, so I know that area well...just not the Disney area.

FWIW, I have a 75-mile training route in the Clermont area that climbs Sugarloaf 3x, Buckhills 4x and all the other "greatest hits" (Grassy Lake, Apshawa, Hospital Hill, etc.) at least 2-3x.  It hurts.

A group ride over there would be great. I plan to hit the Florida 70.3 area a few more times and then move over to Clermont in the spring to get in some bigger hills.
