Come join the Ride Miami Cycling Club and Everglades Bicycle Club for an adventurous cycling weekend from Miami to Key West! Starting at the Homestead Motor Speedway you will ride through scenic Card Sound Road and merge onto historic AIA.

Enjoy beautiful ocean views and camaraderie of fellow cyclists on this very memorable trip. Pool side receptions greet participants both nights where you will have a chance to share all sorts of cycling tales with other riders, SAGs, and new friends.

The cost is a only $150. You are encouraged to sign up now to reserve your spot and to contact the designated hotels for a room. Chill out on a charter bus ride home for only $25 more. Or get a ride back with family and friends. If your friends want to tag along the way, $50 meal tickets are available.

DAY 1: FRIDAY 7:30 AM at the Miami Homestead Speedway. For those cyclists who are staying at the Best Western, your luggage will be picked up at the hotel, so you can ride to the start (about 4 miles). If you are driving to the Speedway, there is secured parking overnight. The luggage truck will be parked at the Speedway, and will swing by the Best Western to pick up luggage before heading down to the Keys. There will be a meet/greet on Thursday night in the Best Western lobby to answer any questions for our out of town riders. Our first rest stop on Friday is at the Bayside Inn, in Key Largo, MM99, which is a lovely, beachside resort, a true Kodak moment rest stop. Our second rest stop will be at Robbies in Islamorada, MM77, bayside, where you can enjoy feeding the tarpon and seeing some Florida wildlife. Our last stop is at Hawks Cay, where we will stay overnight. Hawks Cay is located just 17 miles south of Robbies, on the ocean side. Hotel registration will be set up outside, so you can get signed into your room, and enjoy your lunch all at the same time.
