I want to know how far you REALLY travel day to day. I don't want guesstimates, I want real world numbers.
The distance from Mulberry Grove Rec Center at the very north of the Villages to Saluki Rec Center at the south is 22 miles, I doubt anyone is making that trip daily. Round trip would be 44 miles.
It would be nice if people got in their cart in the morning, noted the beginning miles, did their average daily trips, then noted the total miles traveled at the end of the day.
I'm guessing most would be surprised that they really don't go as far as they think they do.

I have used my cart for estate and garage sales, as well as the usual sightseeing, shopping and dining and have occasionally put 100 miles on it in a single day. My longest day? Just under 125 miles. (I know. The last time I bought a golf cart, the salesman didn’t believe anyone could do that)
Typically I start out up near Mulberry Grove, hit the sales and food along and off the Buena Vista thoroughfare until I get to Brownwood. Then off to the sales and sites towards Fenny. Then back across the turnpike to Sawgrass Grove then back across the turnpike at Bexley trail to Middleton. Then down to MickeyLee. Going back, I use the Morse boulevard thoroughfare and hit the neighborhoods on the eastern side of the villages until I get to the old side where I usually end up having dinner at Takis north of 441. Doesn’t happen often but it does happen. Been here 11 years and have stopped to help a stranded villager 10 times. In every case, they were in a failed electric cart and were happy that the village’s is America’s friendliest home town.
