Lodge Group Bike Ride Schedule - October 2 & 3


3rd Annual Nocattee Stage Race is On!


For more information on the race click here: http://www.wamevents.com/

Or contact Pete Loftis: peteloftis@gmail.com


That also means the Saturday Ride route will be altered for this coming weekend. The adjusted route is thus: PVB across A!A, at the Publix round-about take a right on Palm Valley Rd, left at Landrum Rd, at Roscoe Blvd:

A Group heads left to 210 Bridge, over bridge down 210, at Crosswater Parkway ride two loops on “spoke 1” turning around at the first light before the overpass at the old 210 intersection, then up the on-ramp and back to the Lodge.

AA Group turns right on Roscoe Blvd., right at Canal, right at Palm Valley Road, right on Landrum and at Roscoe Blvd. turns right and follow the same course as the A Group.

Essentially the route is one lap of our old “loop in the valley” ride, then two laps of spoke one and back. If you are at the front of the pace line, please call out the turns well ahead of time. This route will be unfamiliar to our newer riders.


Please note CORONA ROAD will be closed beginning 13 September 2010 to all vehicular traffic for approximately six (6) months for the Corona Road Weir Safety Improvements Project between Ponte Vedra Blvd. and Rutile Drive.
