Chrome Diva Ride - June 21, 2009
On Father's Day, June 21, 2009 the Divas headed out for their monthly Diva-only ride. The ride was organized and led by... wait for it ... Victoria and Trish. Yes, they came through for us again! What would we do without them?
Some of the other Divas that attended were Debi, Chris, Lynn, and Sharon W. There were also a few non-members that rode along.
From Broadway Pizza in Altamonte the Divas hit the ignition buttons and headed out to Lake County. They rode along Lake Apopka, then headed up Sugarloaf Mountain and -- Wait, what? You didn't know Florida has mountains? Well, it does. Sort of. At 312 feet above sea level, Sugarloaf is second only to Britton Hill (located in the Florida Panhandle) as the highest point in Florida. (Britton Hill is 345 feet above sea level.) From the top of Sugarloaf, you are rewarded with magnificent views of Lake Apopka and our famous orange groves. We don't often get this perspective in Florida.
After coming down the mountain -- thankfully there were no nose bleeds -- the Divas went to Moon Cricket Grille in the heart of downtown Winter Garden for lunch. Moon Cricket has been described as being "like TGIFridays before they went corporate."
When Sharon W. was later asked about the ride, she replied, "I remember that ride fondly; that's where I had the BLT sandwich with the fried green tomatoes! Yummy!"
And doesn't that just make the ride all the more rewarding, to find a gem of a place to eat after riding beautiful backroads with good friends? Can't wait to find out where the next ride-to-eat will be!
