Howey in the Hills -- CANCELED

Riders seem to like the challenges (aka suffering) of riding these hills.
THIS IS A NEW ROUTE on familar roads. 31.4 miles, 1708 feet of climbing. Included are Sugarloaf, Buckhill, the Wall, the 455 hills and a few other unnamed climbs.

This route is available on Ride with GPS under Howey-Meandering 2023. The link is ridewithGPS.com/routes/41784133

From Howey, this ride will stay together for about the first five miles. Once on SR 455, ride at your own pace. Break is at the Green Mountain Park around mile 22.

Riding ability should be at least strong C. And yes I have a short cut option which allows slower riders to arrive at the break area close to the same time.

Weather cancelation info: we don't go if the temp at the start is below 45. Rain and even high winds may force cancelation ( it is February after all).

9.00 roll.

Don't forget... possible post ride stop at the Yalaha bakery.
