GET INSPIRED!! May is National Bike Month - Get out and ride!

Make plans to "Bike and BBQ" with Hector Picard, the 1st Double Arm Amputee 5x Ironman Finisher. We will meet at Lake Mills Park, Chuluota at 8:30 a.m. for a 22 mile ride with Hector, (or one of several shorter routes.) After the ride, we will gather back up at the park. After Hector shares his story with the group, we'll have a picnic. This will be a social ride and the routes and pace groups will be posted before the ride.

So just why will Hector Picard inspire you? Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mZMw-usrxQ
