Inverness and Area Outdoors

Let's paddle up the Rainbow River to KP Hole Park and back. We will start from Blue Run Park. So against the current to start and then an easy paddle back. The current is not very strong on the Rainbow River but it will be work if you are only used to paddling with the current.
As always life jackets are required. I always wear mine during the paddle but do not enforce that others wear theirs.
Please note - in an effort to limit pollution on the river they do not allow any disposable containers. I bring something to drink in a metal reusable bottle. I do bring store wrapped snack bars but keep them in a dry bag in the rear bulkhead. I will have those when we stop at KP Hole. If the authorities see you with a wrapper they will give you a ticket. At least that is my understanding.
If people would like we can grab lunch after the paddle.

This will be a challenge event. The Horrible Hundred ride is intended to hit the hilly areas of Central Florida and this is the 44th annual occurrence of this event.
I will be doing the 100 mile route which has about 4500 feet of clothing climbing. The ride also offers a 70 mile route and a 35 mile route. The plan is to roll out from the start at 7 am and maintain a minimum overall average speed of 14 mph. That will mean riding at around 18 mph on the regular part of the ride and whatever can be performed on the climbs.
As always helmets are required and every rider is riding at their own risk and should know their limits and work within them.
The ride requires registration and that can be done from their site at https://horrible-hundred.com
