Our very own John Alexander, who also has Parkinson’s, went to South Dakota and participated in the last day of Larry’s ride. He shared his story about that ride, here. Another local connection —...

The freshwater springs that feed our rivers are among Florida’s better features. Aside from being beautiful, sparkling, blue-green ribbons of water in the forest, they run a consistent temperature year round. In summer, the 72° water is a human playground and refuge from the heat. In winter, it offers manatees refuge from the cold....
Yesterday Lisa and I rode the length of the Cady Way/Cross Seminole trail (~11 miles) from the Fashion Square head to where the most recent phase unceremoniously ends just before Red Bug Rd. It would seem that ending offered little of interest—a Home Depot, a MacDonalds… no coffee shop. However, tucked into the shopping...
