TOSRV Havana FL to Albany GA April 2010

Several of the bike riders from the beach and The Lodge Group rode the 200 mile TOSRV bike ride the weekend of April 17 & 18. The ride left Havana, FL for a 100 mile ride to Albany, GA and return back on Sunday. TOSRV has been disbanded the last two years and was reorganized back to the almost original route. We all had a great time and was a good base building bike ride.
