Bike Rides
We are headed out to the trail. We’re excited to invite you, your friends, family, and any other adventurous souls to join us for two scenic group bicycle rides this fall. These rides are meant for all levels — bring your bike if you have one, or take advantage of local rentals. We’ll ride, chat, enjoy the scenery, and have lunch together afterward.
This is a perfect way to enjoy Florida’s beauty outside the bubble with great friends.
Please RSVP and send questions to Mike Held at mheld557@gmail.com
