Meetup: 9:30 AM Whole Foods Orlando, 8003 Turkey Lake Road, Orlando, 32819
Join the Space Coast Scooter Crew as we meander to and through Lakeland on our April ride. Great weather and a great route!
- 11:30 Arrive for lunch at the Taste of Florida Café at Lang Sun Country Groves,
5900 US Highway 17/92 West, Haines City, FL 33805

- Leave the Cafe by 12:30
- 1:30pm Arrive Hollis Garden, 702 E. Orange St, Lakeland

You can see a YouTube video about it here:

- Around 2(ish) we'll leave Hollis Garden. It's very easy to spend more time there (so when we leave is up to you guys)
- From there we will meander around some of the lakes and neighborhoods of Lakeland
- By 3ish we should arrive at Florida Southern College,
111 Lake Hollingsworth Dr, Lakeland 33801
Here we'll have a peek at the "Child of the Sun"http://www.flsouthern.edu/fllwctr/index.htm
And here's a YouTube video:

Unfortunately the visitors center will be closed, but I have a bunch of the brochures for the walking tour, so we should still be able to wander and see a few interesting things.
- Then we can head back home by 4 or so.
Both Hollis Garden and the Frank Lloyd Wright Child of the Sun are free, but I do suggest wearing something comfortable to stroll around in.
So there are several spots you can start from:
(Addresses listed above)
Whole Foods, Orlando 10am
Taste of Florida Café 11:30 (12:30 if you don't want lunch)
Hollis Gardens, Lakeland 1:30 (2pm if you don't want to see the garden)
If you're not up for a long ride, feel free to do just a section. (For example if you want, you can ride from Orlando to the cafe, have lunch then head home.)
When you sign up in the database, just mention where you'll be starting from.
Come join us!

Or just show up, but we'd prefer to know if you're coming so we can get an accurate count for lunch.
See ya then!
