This weekend’s weather temperature forecast. Check the blog weather forecast on the right side of the blog page. Or check these web pages.
Weather.com - Ponte Vedra Beach
Weather.com - Jacksonville Beach
The Friday, Saturday, and Sunday morning temperature forecast is in the low 40’s. In the past when the morning temperature is below 50F we have very few road bike riders to show up at the Lodge. Last winter we started an optional mountain bike ride at Hanna Park at 9:00 AM on those cold days.
If the morning temperature is below 50F there will be a group that will meet at Hanna Park front parking lot to ride at 9:00 AM on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Dust off you mountain bike, lube your chain, pump up your tires and come an join us. There will be different skill levels of riders. We regroup at the trail heads/intersections so that everyone can ride at their level and enjoy the group mountain bike ride. This will be a good time to try your mountain bike out at Hanna and learn the trails.
You can also check the morning temperature on Comcast Channel 30 and check the bottom of the TV screen for the scrolling area town’s “Now”, “Tonight”, & “Tomorrow” temperature bar. Look for Jacksonville Beach, Mayport, and St Augustine.
Thursday – Thanksgiving Day – No organized bike ride. You could show up at 8:00 and see if there are any other riders going for a ride. You may also check the area bike shops to see if they have an organized road bike ride.
If the morning temperature is 50F and above there will be a Lodge Group Bike ride. If below 50F there could be several road bike riders braving the cold temperatures.
Friday – 8:00 AM @ the Lodge – 40 mile Nocatee Loops – we will ride a different route. We will try to have some type of group ride.
Saturday – 8:00 AM @ the Lodge – 35 to 40 miles = Traditional Saturday ride.
Sunday – 8:00 AM @ the Lodge – 50 to 60 miles = Group Ride

Tuesday and Thursday Morning Bike Ride @ 6:30 AM From the PV Inn & Club to Restart Nov 3
With the time change this weekend, sunrise is an hour earlier. There is enough day light to restart the Tuesday / Thursday 6:30 AM morning bike rides. Starting tomorrow Tuesday November 3 we will leave the PV Inn and Club at 6:30 AM.
On the Saturday Lodge bike ride there were several discussions requesting the morning bike ride to restart. We should be able to ride a few more weeks before the sunrise is too late to ride safely.
This is approximately a 20 mile ride with a speed pace of 19 – 25 MPH. The route is south on PVB to Mickler’s, right at the roundabout onto 210, left on Landrum, left on Roscoe back 210 to Mickler’s to PVB.
