The Parkland Ride (26/29/33 Miles)

The starting point is a parking lot on the north east corner of Sample Rd. and 124th Ave. 124th is the first left, after leaving the Sawgrass Expressway. There are 3 line colors on this course. Red is the regular course, Blue is the shortcut, light Green is the extension.
Blue 26.5 miles
Red 29.5 miles
Green 33.0 miles
1) All 3 routes start by heading north on 124th. This will become 125th after a big S turn. When the road ends, turn right on Wiles. Turn left at the first light (Coral Ridge).
2a) If you want the shortcut (Blue line - saves 1.5 miles in each direction), go straight to the light and turn right (Westview).
2b) For the Red/Green routes, turn left at the second left turn lane (the first one doesn't go anywhere). Stay on the main road (big loop). Go striaght through the first light (Coral Ridge). You are now on Westview, where all 3 routes join again.
3) Turn left at the next light (Coral Springs). After you pass the High School on the left, turn right at the stop sign (Holmberg). Follow this through 2 stop signs (first is University, second is Riverside).
4a) If you want the regular or short (Red line) routes, turn left at the solar powered school zone sign (Parkside - only goes left). Go straight until this ends at Loxahatchee.
4b) For the extension route (light Green line - adds about 1.7 miles in each direction), keep going straight. Make the last left possible, before the light (the light is SR7/441). This goes through the Winners Circle apartment complex. Once inside, turn to the right, and follow the loop around to the entrance on the opposite side. Exit here, and go left on Hillsboro. Keep going, until this ends at Loxahatchee.
5) Turn left on Loxahatchee (all 3 routes have joined again), and go until you hit the water (5 miles). This is the turnaround/rest stop. There is a trailer where you can buy drinks (on the left). Since this is an out-and-back ride, just reverse the directions to get back.

We usually stop for lunch after the ride. There is a bagel shop in the Publix shopping center on Wiles and Coral Springs. Sometimes we just ride there on the way back. If we do this, take Coral Springs south, past the light at Westview. Turn right, under the power lines, into the parking lot on the north west corner of Wiles and Coral Springs. The Bagel shop is next to the Subway.

To finish from here, go out to Wiles, and turn right. Go through the light (Coral Ridge - you're back on the Red line now!) and turn left on 125th (after the last building on the left). Take this straight back to the parking lot.
