Veterans Expressway, Suncoast Parkway

We had a nice brisk morning but it warmed up nicely. The carpool didn't wait for Deborah B. as we didn't really know she was coming. Sorry Deborah B. On the brighter side, Martha C. made it to the blade. The carpool left without her for Longboat key. Good to blade with you today Martha C. We had Andy B., Tomasc & Dorota B. blade with us for the first time today. Welcome new bladers. We discovered a new place to blade today. It is the Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park. They have added a new trail off the Suncoast Parkway Trail to the Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park. The next time we blade in the area we will start at this park. It has a real parking lot and restrooms. After our 20 mile wilderness park blade, we Brunched at Christos. Christos was very accomodating (Janice called in advance, thanks Janice). We all sat together and they provided very good service. We gave the service a 10 and the food an 8.5.
