Join us on March 20-23, 2025
We will be exploring the Withlacochee Trail, the Good Neighbor Trail, the Suncoast Trail, and the Starkey Wilderness Trail from Brooksville to Inverness and from Brooksville to Odessa/Trinity over four days while enjoying the hospitality of Chinsegut Hill Retreat. An old Floridian Manor House, Chinsegut boasts acres of old Florida flora and fauna to explore during the morning/day and beautifully clear skies at night for star gazing. Shared bungalows with common areas, kitchens, and individual baths wait for you after a long day’s ride. Family-style breakfasts and dinners are provided, along with a daily Happy Hour. Busing to trailhead starting points for both you and your bike is included, as well as busing back to Chinsegut. We will average 40 to 60 miles per day, with two robust rest stops along the way. Full SAG support included. Can’t do the mileage for each day? Meet us at either rest stop and request SAG back to the accommodations. There is something for everyone on this hub ride!
Registration will open on Thursday, March 16th!
