Something new and different. We will do Red Creek rollers west to east, than we explore Southampton by the water. We'll have to walk our bikes in the sand a short distance to connect two paved roads (check the route). On return we do pleasure South to North (that should be a pleasure for sure). I've not ridden this route so we need extra caution in unfamiliar roads and turns. We'll need to be flexable in route and stops. Hope you can join for a fun adventure.
