Carillon Concert Ride

Check the Ad-Hoc ride listings for Chandler's evening ride on Friday, February 14, to listen to a valentine carillon concert on the UF campus.


The best Valentine Ride in North Florida is sponsored by the Suwannee Bicycle Association on Sunday, Feb 23 in White Springs. See Suwanneebike.org for details.

The Sunday ride has rest stops, SAG vehicles and a great buffet dinner at the end. Rides include a 27 mile family ride as well as longer rides including a 100 mile route. The north Florida area is quiet and beautiful for road rides.

Saturday, the Suwannee Bicycle Association will have an open house at heir clubhouse. The clubhouse has a large "living room" for relaxing and a full size commercial kitchen for feeding us (I should know, I have cooked there Chandler).

Saturday there will be a free ride, a yoyo ride, with a lunch stop along the way.

For those who don't like to ride on roads, the SBA has maps of off road trail in the area and there is a 3.5 mile paved trail in the nearby Big Shoals Conservation area, with the paved trail going from Big Shoals to Little Shoals.


The Gatoride is back! Join us at the Stephen C. O’Connell Center on Sunday, March 8 in Gainesville, FL. With five different distances and a kids rodeo, there is something for everyone! Register online today! (Early bird pricing ends February 15.) For 15% off, use code: GATORIDE15.
