Segway
The Segs4Vets event is this Monday at Seabreeze. The 30 minute rides are sold thru The Villages box office and are sold out quickly. However, there are ten minutes for ten dollars rides that are available as a walk up no reservation needed basis. The Segways and equipments are donated by the Segway dealer in Mt. Dora. ALL of the money collected, except for box office fees, is donated to the charity, which provides Segs for soldiers who are disabled.
Only a few members of the Segway Riders Club of The Villages own their own Segway. The rides are at least once a month and include some interesting places such as the National Cemetery in Bushnell, Ybor City, St. Augustine, nature preserves, etc. A couple times a year, the club does a Village ride. Monday we rode to the new Belle Glade CC from Brownwood. Central Florida Segway provides the machines.
Every Thursday, the owners have a lunch ride in The Villages. Today we rode from Laurel Manors to The Lighthouse restaurant at Sumter Landings. Lots of fun....no talent needed.
