PLEASE NOTE- THIS IS A DIFFERENT START LOCATION AND ROUTE THAN WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY POSTED! 

Velo et Cafe will meet up at 7:50 a.m. on NE Cholokka Blvd., in front of the Episcopal church and the historical society, across the street and a little west of city hall and the fire station. We plan to depart at 8:00 a.m. after a brief rider meeting.

We ride primarily on quiet, flat, smooth two-lane country roads with and without a bike lane. We pass by the quaint, historical Evinston post office, and the Marjorie K. Rawlings homestead/ State Park in Cross Creek, with glimpses of both sides of Orange Lake, and cross the River Styx twice. We will stop at the MKR state park, (mile 22,) for a quick restroom break on our return from the "out-and-back" to the winery at Island Grove.

At the above link for the route, (on Ride With GPS,) you can print the cue sheet using "PRINT CUE SHEET FROM BROWSER" in the right margin. If you'd like a .GCX or .TCX f ile for a GPS device, use the EXPORT tab in the right margin. You can also view the route on a smartphone if you install the free app. (And you can even get  "turn-by-turn" directions with the paid app.) I'll bring some paper maps and cue sheets too.

Many thanks to Bill for suggesting, and Jim for encouraging this route change. And thanks to everyone for your understanding. 

Coffee at Mosswood Farm Store in Micanopy after we ride.
