James, can you shoot me that picture? 813-966-1092. Good ride, even if we were all only together for a bit.

I am late and so I started the trail at 9:45. Had to make a mandatory last minute stop to get snacks and tuff, which was out of the way. I’ll look for you on the trail and meet up with you there hopefully!!

How far is everyone riding? I will probably have to do a really long ride, depending on how close I am to my goal of 500 miles by then. It will be a close out ride being that close to the end of the month.

Hi Duane, no set amount. Hoping that we can all do at least 20 together and then anyone wanting to do longer just keeps going and others can turn around. No pressure either way on this one.
More about just getting together and meeting fellow GCC riders. 🚲

That’s great! I plan to do the whole trail twice for 120. This means I will have to move it though, and my average on my hybrid bike is 15 mph with minor stops along the way. I plan on doing a west coast Florida to east coast Florida ride this fall or winter; so this will be about that distance. Naples to South Beach is my first pic, but Crystal River to Daytona, and Ruskin to Vero Beach seem like nice rides.

I'm 910 miles into my 1500 mile goal. Only 590 to go so I'm ahead of schedule. Have worked really hard the 1st half of the month.
I do a lot of mine on my bike trainer which is connected to my garmin, which syncs to mapmyride, which syncs to the GCC app.
Happy riding my friend and looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks.
