The Withlacoochee State Trail Ride is returning after a four-year hiatus.
The event has a new name – Cycle Lacoochee.
The event will kick off from 7 to 9 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 8 at the Depot Pavilion at 218 N. Apopka Ave. in Inverness.

The 47-mile-long Withlacoochee State Trail is paved and meanders through Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties in West Central Florida.
