This Rally/Factory Tour is for all Catrike riders, Catrike enthusiasts and Catrike Dealers. This will be a very informal gathering here in beautiful and historic Winter Garden, Florida.
Saturday
The Catrike Rally will begin at 9:00am Saturday in front of the Edgewater Hotel. We will have two group rides. One will be faster and longer and the other will be slower and shorter along the West Orange Trail. Both rides will go to the new section of the trail that has just opened. It has rolling hills and lots of curves. It will be fun for everyone. After the ride, there will be free time for lunch in Winter Garden or anywhere else you choose. There are plenty of Restaurants in the area and several along the trail so you will not need to drive your car.
At 2:30 pm we will have the Big Cat factory Tour. Paulo and all of us at Big Cat will give you a chance to see how the Catrikes are made and Paulo will give you an insight to “Lean Manufacturing” that he has implemented here in the factory. This is the only time we allow visitors to the plant so you should not miss this opportunity.
Sunday
You have a few options:
You can stay in Winter Garden and ride more of the trail you did not see on Saturday or you can just enjoy the area.
Or Regis Hampton of Hampton’s Edge, Trailside
Trikes
will host a formal ride from his shop in Floral City. It is about a 1 hour drive from Winter Garden.
We will ride to Inverness where we will have lunch and then return to Hampton’s Edge.
*It is important to let us know if you plan on attending Regis’ ride so we can make reservations for lunch.

This will conclude the festivities for the weekend and we will all leave with a smile on our face because it is going to be a lot of fun!
The weather down here is normally very pleasant that time of year, but as many of you know there is a chance for rain so bring some rain gear just in case.
Lodging
Edgewater Hotel
This is a Bed and Breakfast style Inn and is in the center of Winter Garden right on the West Orange Trail. (www.historicedgewater.com)
(You will receive a 10% discount if you mention the Catrike Rally)
We will post other lodging options soon.
Other Information
Among some of the attractions along the trail is the Oakland Nature Preserve with foot trails leading down to Lake Apopka (the second largest lake in Florida). Winter Garden has a very nice community park along the shores of Lake Apopka, which would be ideal for picnics and just relaxing in the sun.
There will not be any charge for the ride or plant tour. Simply e-mail Mark at info@catrike.com with you name, contact information, year and model if you have a Catrike and a brief summary of what you want to participate in so we can help with accommodations. Remember you do not need to own a Catrike to attend, but as a courtesy warning, you will have strong desires to have one after you leave.
Come on and enjoy the sunshine!
