Robinson Preserve

We left our condo at 9 am in a light misty fog. We had to use the wipers. Went up I-75 to FL70 to 30 then FL64E to 75th in Bradenton. On FL64 we stopped at a subway and had a 6 inch turkey and cheese sub made for our lunch. The young girl behind the counter was very friendly. We took our condiments in packets so the bun wouldn't get soppy before lunch which was several hours away. We met Bill, Cort and Barbara in the parking lot of the Robinson Preserve. They rented 2 Pedagos in addition to Bill's and they were being delivered which was amazing. We had a very cold but fun bike ride through the preserve. We had our lunch in the preserve at a picnic table which came after a very long curvy bridge. I drove across the bridge with my video cam running which was fun. We got back to the car at 2 after 13 miles. My fingers were cold and it started misty rain again. We had no trouble shooting back on 75 at 70 MPH. The new bike rack performs well. At 7 we left for the clubhouse and had a prime rib dinner with asparagus and baked potato. I had a Yuengling to accompany it. Interestingly they were sampling martinis in the lobby which we tried. The blueberry martini was very fruity and tropical like. I also tried a glass of some kind of Vodka that had blue in the name. IT was pretty smooth, not sure of it's name. Our time in the restaurant was pretty quick since we were served promptly, the drinks came almost instantly and just as we took a roll, the food arrived. Wow!
