Our ride begins at the Sumter County Fairgrounds and heads directly to Bushnell. It passes the Sumter County Courthouse with its historic courtroom and then stops at the The Dade Battlefield Historic State Park where we will have a reenactment by a park ranger. Admission to the park is $2 per person. From there we head into the countryside, riding mostly through rural farm lands. We visit the small towns of Webster, famous for its cattle auction, and Center Hill, where we take a break. Then, it's back to the country side as we work our way back to the Sumter County Fairgrounds.

When we arrive back at the fairgrounds, the Sumter County Fair will be  open with its numerous events, attractions and food offerings. Attendance at the Fair is optional and entrance is $5 per person.
