    I've ridden the Ormond Beach Loop with the Wednesday/Friday club a few times. I wear hi-viz all the time anyhow, but if you have any interest in getting some, I'd DEFINITELY wear it there. And expect to be buzzed anyway. Don't get me started about Florida drivers - I don't want to scare you off from riding there, but just be VERY, VERY careful, USE your rear view mirror, SEE with your whole eyes, and impress on your daughter to do the same. (Hint: It's not the boys with their pickup trucks I worry most about. )

    If you want to join one of the club rides, they leave pretty early, but there's definitely a group of slower riders on the Wednesday/Friday rides (and probably the Sunday Highbridge ride as well) that would likely keep a pace that's manageable for you and your daughter. Safety in numbers and all that - plus it's a good group of people.

    Do have fun! It's quiet this time of year.
