Flipper's

Monday September 5th

The group that I ride with in Florida. Southwest Florida Cyclist ( So We Flo) decided to have a brunch ride.  What is a brunch ride?   Well.....we rode half way through the ride, had brunch at Flipper's restaurant, and rode back to the start.  For a group who is so driven all of the time with distance and speed, it was nice to kick back and have a more casual ride.  Maybe it's Florida's version of the " All Paces Ride."

There were 16 riders and 6 spouses or significant others who joined in the brunch festivities.  We were pretty much the only people in the restaurant at 8 AM but the place was full by the time we left around 9 AM.  The service was great with two smiling waitresses who served the entire group.   It's a hidden gem.  The view and conversations and relaxed pace of the ride made it one of the best rides I have done with this group.  Hopefully there will be more of these!
