Biking Week of Jan. 15-21

Upcoming Rides

I'm planning a ride on Monday, Jan. 16 and here is a new route I'd love to try.

Ok, who's up for an adventure?  I checked out the sidewalk from the LA Lounge and bowling alley at Matthews Blvd. and Emerald Coast Parkway (new #98) and it does appear to run all the way up to The Florida House, my favorite breakfast place.  (They serve breakfast till 2PM, along with the lunch menu.)  Parts of it are narrow and will necessitate slower, more careful riding and we'll need to do single file all the way, no riding abreast and chatting on this ride.  But I've always wanted to try it and am looking for riders who are up for the challenge.  We'll ride to the restaurant, have lunch, then ride back afterwards.   We will NOT be riding ON #98...sidewalk goes the whole way.  Meet at 11:15AM in the parking lot of LA Lounge and the bowling alley.  Who's in?  Be sure to RSVP by the comment feature below this post, or if you can't figure that out, call me on my cell:  815-592-5923 and I'll help you with it over the phone!


Rick and Rayne Bryla will lead a Sandestin ride on Thursday, Jan. 19, at 11AM.
 
You can park in the parking garage for free at the Village at Baytowne Wharf inside Sandestin (Bayside.)  Meet everyone outside the Starbucks, which is right at the entrance to the Village and parking garage.  Lunch will be at a mutually agreed upon restaurant in the Village at the end of the ride.  RSVP by the comment feature below.


Seaside, Watercolour, #30A ride on Friday, Jan. 20th,  my annual birthday ride!  :)
  
This will be a 30A ride with lunch at The Great Southern Cafe, cuz I love those Grits a Ya Ya!  Meet outside The Great Southern Cafe in Seaside at 11AM and we will take off from there to ride about an hour.  We'll return at the end, put the bikes on the cars, and eat!  RSVP by clicking "comment" and letting us know if you'll be joining us.

Be sure to check back here frequently for new info!  (And feel free to call me on my cell!)

  9. Hi Everyone, four of us made the ride from LA Lounge to The Florida House on Monday. Beautiful day despite a bit of wind. Good food, fun ride, great company. Cyclists are the nicest people! On to Thursday and Friday!

  11. Hey Everyone -- Looks like as of now, we may have 15 cyclists on our Thursday ride (counting Rick and Rayne, me and Alligator Man who never uses the comment feature to RSVP...we'll have to twist his arm to get on board with that! ;))

    See you at the Village of Baytowne Wharf and we'll ride Sandestin and this time I get to be part of the pack as the Bryla's lead!
