On Saturday, April 15,  we'll take a ride down Myakka's Memory Lane, and discuss the largest natural community at Myakka:  The endemic (and globally imperiled) Florida Dry Prairie.  Then, after a short (under an hour) service project, we will enjoy a free picnic lunch, sponsored by grant funds from Adventure Cycling and National Environmental Education Foundation.

PLEASE NOTE:  Total ride distance will be approximately 7 miles and this ride will include an off-road portion:  We will be riding 2 miles on dirt, gravel and a few short stretches of sand.  We'll share more details about the service project with registrants closer to the event.  Lunch will take place in a covered pavilion.
