Biking Week of Feb. 19-25

Monday, Feb. 20:  Meet at 2PM at the main doors of Majestic Sun (1200 Scenic Gulf Drive, Miramar Beach) and we'll ride along Scenic #98 to the very end and return by way of the beach neighborhoods.  After the ride, we'll go up to Cabana Cafe again for Banjo Rama and eats/drinks/merriment!
Update:  Fun ride today with the Olsons, Hendricks and me.  Just five so we decided to change our route and rode Sandestin.  Thanks for the company guys!

Tuesday, Feb. 21:  Meet at 11AM in Freeport (directions John provided below) to do the Freeport ride.  I emailed John to see if he was free to lead this, but as of now haven't heard back.  Since many people were interested in this ride last week, and it may rain the rest of the week, we'll put it on anyway for Tuesday.  If John responds he is free to lead, great!  If not, we will figure it out ourselves.
Directions are easy, East on 98 to 331, North on 331 to Hwy 20, West on 20 to Freeport City Hall/Library, where we'll meet and park. Lunch at PJ's Table across the street from where we park.
Update:  Great 15 mile ride with nary a car and no pedestrians to dodge!  Thanks for leading us on the new route, Allen!  That is going to be one of our favorite routes, for sure.  Ken, Terri and Anita, thanks too, for the fun company!


Thursday, Feb. 23:  Anybody want to do a Sandestin ride at 11AM, ending at Beef O'Brady's for lunch on this day?  Doesn't look like we'll have a chance to ride before Sunday's  #30A ride and potluck, so this could be our last chance before then.  Meet in the Market Shops parking lot near Beef O'Brady's entrance and we'll enter Sandestin from there.  Then we can just put the bikes back on the cars (or lock them up, if you've ridden there) and do lunch afterwards.
Update:  I'm cancelling this ride, because the latest from the weather channel has our winds at 20mph, gusting to 30mph.   Sure, we could manage and sure, it would be good exercise, but we are primarily about f-u-n in this group, and winds that high are not fun!  We'll have to get our exercise some other way today.  :)

  7. I will be there for the freeport ride, but not Lynn. She has an art class. If John cannot be there I will be pleased to lead the ride as Lynn and I did it last week and discovered some new interesting territory.

    1. Great, Allen! Thank you! That saves me about an hour, as I was going to run over and drive the route to be sure I remembered it. See you later!
