Saturday was a beautiful day for a trip, sunny and clear and a little cool. Four of us met in Altamonte Springs for the ride to Woody’s River Roo in Ellenton. We all layered up because the temp was 57F and we knew it would be around 77F for the ride home.
With KSU at 07:45 AM, we headed out to I-4 through downtown Orlando. The major construction project of adding toll express lanes through Orlando has finally been completed. While we did not use these toll lanes, traffic was light and moving very well. We stayed on I-4 until exit 48, CR 557, Old Grade Road. This led us to back roads through the Polk and Manatee Counties phosphate mining areas. Very little traffic and no traffic lights.
We arrived at Woody’s River Roo at 10:45. We soon joined by two other riders and we claimed a long table that can hold 12. While we were waiting, a wildlife rescue outfit set up in the parking lot. They had a female Great Horned Owl which had been injured and couldn’t be retured to the wild.
The setting on the River at Woody’s is gorgeous. The temp was perfect for eating outside. The staff are awesome, friendly, and courteous and the food delicious. The conversation flowed and the camaraderie was awesome. It was a very relaxing atmosphere. We had a total of seven riders and while we were eating, two other folks stopped by our table and asked about who we were. We gave the brochures and invited them to join and ride with us.
Around 1:00 PM it was time to saddle up and return home. The temp was 75, very pleasant! I clocked 278 miles / 447 kilometer's round trip.
