Divas-Only Ride to Cape Canaveral

Akili planned and led our ride today out to Florida's east coast.  The tour included the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge with fabulous views of the NASA launch pad at Kennedy Space Center, a walk along a unspoiled beach within the refuge and a delicious seafood dinner at Dixie Crossroads.

New Diva Leslie joined us on her first ride with us today.
