Summary
Biking at Grassy Waters Preserve moderate at 14 miles, but we will have the choice of increasing mileage up to 26 (or 52, or 78 etc.), depending on conditions and group stamina. This is a joint outing with Florida Great Outdoors and women may be participating.
We will meet at 10:00 in West Palm Beach on the southern entrance to Grassy Waters Preserve and bike at least part of the Owahee Trail. http://www.wpb.org/grassywaters/owahee_trail.php
It's really a levee around the watershed for the city's fresh water, flat, pretty smooth surface BUT you still need fat tires to do this one. It's a nice marsh, we should see gators, wading birds, hawks. You need to bring your bike, a tire repair kit (or be ready for a walk if you flat), plenty of water, sun protection, maybe bug spray I'm not sure how they'll be, snacks. There are only a few bailout options but you can turn around and go back the way we came when you've had enough. Optional: we may go to a Venezuelan restaurant for lunch after. RAIN CANCELS. Any questions just contact me.
Directions To Trailhead Parking Lot
Directions: 95 or turnpike to Okeechobee Blvd. in West Palm, go west to Jog Road, turn right (north) on Jog, the gate and parking will be on your left while you are in a broad curve but it's poorly signed; if you miss it, turn around at the U-turn, come south and it will be on your right.
