Wickham Park Bike Ride
Thursday, 18 Mar 2004

OVERVIEW:
Meet at 7:30 a.m. at the east end of the boat launch area parking lot on Eau Gallie Causeway (near east end of causeway, southside). Ride bikes to Wickham Park, ride paved and limestone roads within park, ride the bike paths around the park perimeter, ride to Fat Boy's on Wickham Rd. for breakfast, then ride back to the causeway parking lot. (See overview map.)

The ride is about 20 miles long and will take about 2-1/2 hours, including a couple of rest stops and breakfast.

For those that do not want to ride so far (or so high), you can drive to Wickham Park and meet us at 8:00 a.m. at the park entrance. (It takes about 30 minutes to ride from the causeway parking lot to Wickham Park.)
