The process of bringing you a good bike riding video has been a challenge. Wind noise, road vibrations, camera angles and other problems foiled our first two attempts and this one is not a work of art. It is a trip, largely narrated by Linda as the Newcomers ride E-Bikes to Brownwood and other areas close by. Ride with us as long as you can stand it! A fun bonus are the chance encounters with five of our viewers!
Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and Ring that bell! We'll let you know when we post a video!
Jerry and Linda bring you information that they hope will enhance your retirement.
The channel is more than just The Villages. It features episodes designed to inspire retirees to make the most of their golden years. Bicycling, kayaking, hiking, golfing, music, travel and other things of interest are featured.

So we have been here a week, we walked the nature trail in fenney , went to a driveway concert, had dinner at Nancy Lopez country club, danced one night at the Spanish springs town center, went out and looked at golf carts, tried to buy a hot tub, ( sold out) , took the ebike out a few days and explored,, going to see Kathleen Kane sing , and that's just the first week, I gotta stop going places and finish unpacking ... then find the cameras and get back to making videos

The bicyclist must have felt intimidated having a woman passing him on his bike!! LOL. Jerry reminds me of my late husband as he would do the “color commentary” and I gave “factual comments”. It’s a nice balance of personalities between the two of you for marriage and videos... I enjoy both of you on your videos. I’m so happy you’re able to enjoy life together and share your adventures with us living in the north. God’s blessings to you both.

Hi Jerry and Linda, great video. Thanks for sharing. Love seeing all the interesting scenery there. i am just wondering if that was Skip Smith in the motor home. Skip and Sue were planning a trip around then. Wind noise can be a real problem when I video. Unfortunately, I can't connect an external mike to my video cameras. The golf cart trails there are absolutely awesome. I especially like the tunnels. Anyway, take care and all the very best. Robert.

Those apartments are the Lofts of Brownwood. They opened July, 2020. There is more information about them on The Villages web site. On Skip Smith's KZfaq Channel, his wife Sue and her friend Deb toured the Lofts about 6 months ago. The Lofts look very nice, but not inexpensive. Location, location, location.

We live in the county on 20 acres. When we had our lake cabin something I noticed was hearing the noise from all the neighbors mowing their lawns. (Something we were not used to at home except for the couple hours that we mow.) Of course each neighbor mowed on a different day, Lol! I wondered if you hear a lot of that in the Villages, as the landscape is so beautifully taken care of?

I know if you mention me or any other club members she would likely be excited to do several fun, educational bike safety videos... the reason I bring this up is that the Club is the best resource, group of wide range of levels of riders and educational safety practice that I have seen anywhere in the country... I will be moving permanently down there in July, and look forward to growing the bike club and it’s interaction with those that drive in The Villages. Look forward to touching base with you guys... see ya when we get there ;)
