Sorry folks, due to the possibility of Gustav's feeder bands sweeping
through later this morning, today's ride is cancelled.

Remember Steve, all the gates in question are right on the trail where
there is road access to the lake.  What you need to get tools and
stuff to one of the gates is what I have, a pickup truck.

Details in the Calendar.

14 to 16 mph pace with a sorta regroup.  How that works is at some time
I get to La Carretta for my colatta and toast.  When I'm done off we go
again.  Another spot is downtown Coconut Grove on the way back because
I want to check out the "Life Is Good" shop.

Starts at 7:00 am (no later than 7:10 depart)

Back by 1:00 at the latest so I can see the Fish & Jets.  You're
welcome to watch with me.

This is an intermediate, 14-16 mph ride from the 84 Diner (84 Diner -
State Road 84 and Hiatus)through Miramar for 30+ miles.  Join Jose' & I
for a fun filled recumbent and wedgie friendly ride. We won't drop you
unless you can't do 14 MPH minimum. Please show by 7:15 AM, and be
ready to pedal at 7:30 AM with your bike and equipment in ready
condition.

Steve, you dog you! What a great idea! I don't think the US Army
Corps OF Engineers would mind us finishing off the paving job of the
LOST over this holiday weekend, would they?
My Burley Flatbed actually transported 115 lbs of camping gear on the
LOST!

Hi Kids, here's the response I received from Janet about your comments
about finishing the path...

"Thank you Tractor Tom.  I have contacted the ranger in charge of the
LOST and have offered to meet with him to discuss these concerns and
how important it is to our communities in economic stress.  We WANT it
to be a world class cycling draw!!  I will let you know what becomes
of our meeting.

Janet"

I'll be interested to see what comes of it...

Thanks Tom! I know that paving the remainder of the LOST is not a small
task. It would definitely be the one most significant improvement that
would bring a major increase of outdoor enthusiasts to the Lake O area.
Thanks Again Tom!

You all want the LOST to be a paved trail ALL the way around the lake.
  Point taken, and sent forward to Janet.   We'll see what happens next.
