Take a picture of your team in the boats with this sign visible. You can put in boats at the boat launch in Deleon Springs State Park or even rent a canoe at this location.

Take a picture of each team-mate at the hub with both their bike and the hub sign visible. Map shows the location of the Chuck Lennon Bike trails parking and trail-head.
