With Six Gap and Greenville Gran Fondo Hincapie around the corner (September 28th and October 18th, correspondingly), we need to get some climbing training before we go up there (and it's a good excuse to go get great beer and food after we ride). So please come join me for 42 miles of fun in the Florida hills.
Rolling at 8 am from Crooked Can in Winter Garden, we will ride the trail until we hit N Hancock Rd. From there, we will visit the 3 big hills (Sugarloaf, Buckhill, and the Wall) and ride back to start through Ferndale and Montverde. Route down below.

Pace will be moderate, but not killing it. We will stick together but this is not a newbie ride. Average speed with climbs will be between 16 and 17 mph, so think of rolling 20ish mph on the flats.
As for stops, we will regroup at: 1) the top of Sugarloaf (mile 16); 2) Green Mountain Trail head restrooms (mile 27); and if needed, 3) at the gas station in Montverde (mile 32).
After the ride, we will hang out at Crooked Can for some well deserved recovery food and drinks.
Hope you can make it. Thank you and see you there!
