Gonna be great this year! We are expecting it to be much bigger than last year because the weather will be so much better...(no way it could be worse.)

The ride is again taking place on the second day of the St. Augustine Cycling Festival, which is also going to be bigger and better than last year. The festival is sponsored by the St Johns County Recreation and Parks Dept and the N. Florida Council of the Boy Scouts for the purpose of promoting Scouting in the area. There will be lots of cycling related vendors and displays, Bike Safety Clinics, a Tricycle Time Trial for prizes, several raffles prizes including a high end road bike donated by Champion. Saturday afternoon from 4pm to 8pm there will be two bands on stage for your free entertainment. They are the very popular local bands called Trap Door and Pili Pili.

For the first time, we will make early packet pick-up available on Saturday between 1pm and 4pm. This should help alleviate some of the congestion on Sunday before the rides. Come on down to the Festival on Saturday and take advantage of the early packet pick-up.

If you have questions about the ride, most of the details can be found on the home page or by going to Active.com. We will also soon have a link to the cycling festival website available on the nfbc.us homepage.

You can also email me at melonhead@nfbc.us.

Despite the rain, last year's ride was great. After a few hours of steady rain, the Florida weather gave way to warm sunshine and a wonderful event. Those of us who endured the early part of the ride were treated to wonderful riding weather in the latter part of the day.
