Last Updated July 1, 2008

RIDE SCHEDULE
July-August
2008

Inside this schedule are great ride opportunities. Some new leaders, locations and routes as well as some of the old standards. Come on out and join us.

We're always looking for ride leaders. All that is required is a place to park, rest room facilities, and access to cycling friendly territory. Set a meeting place, plan a route, and contact Carole Davis at GySgtDavis@netzero.net, phone (850) 941-4604.

For directions or questions on any listed ride contact the Ride Leader. Don't forget that helmets are mandatory on all WFW club rides. Come join us on our rides.
The future is no place to keep your better cycling days!

Ride distances are approximate. Some riders only do portions of the longer rides. We stop every 20-25 miles for rest stops and ensure all riders are safe. We ensure all riders know the route and wait at turns for all to re-group. Our hope is to provide rides for all levels of riders and their various desires for pace and distance. New host sites and routes are always welcome. You can select the distance and pace. RIDE PACES: Average speed of a completed ride
Very Fast: 25+ MPH
Fast-Very Fast: 22-25 MPH
Fast: 22 MPH
Moderate-Fast: 18-22 MPH
Moderate: 18 MPH
