Today some riders started at the motel, some at Lemon Bay Park. I drove down to Gasparilla and parked in front of the restaurant where we were going to have lunch. Got out my Trike and rode 12 miles on the paved bike trail. The riders from Lemon Bay caught up with me about 2 miles from town.
We had lunch at the Loose Caboose, which is at the end of the old train station. Then we went to a place on the water called Whidden's, which sells bait, tackle, and lots of junk, as you'll see in the photos. There is a museum, of sorts, there, too. It is on the National Register of Historic Places. Then we visited the Gasparilla Inn, the old hotel in town. Really is a beautiful place, and pricey in season, Rooms $375.00 a night. This is also on the Register of Historic Places. Larry played a few tunes on the piano which was in one of the large sitting rooms.
John and I went to dinner at NTino's, a small place across the street. Then to the grocery store for a couple of things.
Ride tomorrow will be on Longboat Key again.
