Historic Savannah Bicycle Tour Feb 22, 2006

Would like for my BLOG audience to meet Nicole and Aner, a very fine young couple who reside in Manhattan New York City who took my 5 hour Historic Savannah Bicycle tour today. Riding through downtown through the squares and checking out a lot of history, hidden gardens and dodging traffic, we ended up riding through Isle of Hope, then had lunch at Tubby's ... Shrimp and grouper fresh off the boat! After a tour of Bonventure cemetery we headed back to let them leave for Orlando and Disney World where they will finish their vacation.

Florida Trails Tour and More! Feb 2006

The February tour group is pictured here at Winter Garden, Florida on the West Orange Trail. That's Megan being held by Carolyn, our support driver's "child"! A very nice day to bicycle, as the group did about 40 miles and had lunch on the sidewalk at Downtown Browns Deli. During the week the individuals rode between 130 and 225 miles each, enjoying a very good week of weather in Central Florida, being headquartered nightly at a very nice Hampton Inn in Mt. Dora, Fl near Orlando.

My oldest son's job, Mission Point Resort

If you have an opportunity, take it! That's what my oldest son did, take an opportunity to build a good business for the owners of Mission Point Inn on Mackinak Island Mi. While the hotel is closed during the Winter, he is busy planning and executing a marketing plan to make sure the hotel is filled in the Spring, Summer and Fall season.
A beautiful Island, doesn't allow cars. My Son tells me that before my grandson arrived his snowmobile had 36 miles on the odometer. Now, three months later it has over 300 miles and it's only 15 mile around the Island ... Do you have a Son or Daughter that is "on the move" !!!! Great to have children, right???
I hope to visit my Son and his wife this Summer, by bicycling up the West Coast on a bike ride. IF, I can get them to take me back to the start to get my van!

Planning for the Jekyll Island Challenge (Bicycle ride)

When riding to the Sapelo Visitors Center the cyclist will pass through Ridgeville, Ga. The sign pictured announces the historic significance, but it's worth the ride to cycle under the canopy of large maritime live oaks, see the beautiful old homes that have been restored and feel the charm of this magnificent village! The area is called The Ridge, because it is actually a ridge of land bordering the marsh.

Planning for the Jekyll Island Challenge (Bicycle Ride)

The Saturday morning ride will start at Historic Darien and go to the visitors center for Sapelo Island. This Island, owned by the State of Georgia has a ferry so that patrons can take a tour of the island. No other access is available other than private boat owners. This island once owned by R. J. Reynolds who bought the island when he was 34 years old is a treat to visit and tour. The riders will return to Darien where arrangements were made today for a discounted lunch at Skippers Fish Camp located on the Darien River. www.skippersfishcamp.com
