Map link: JAX GIRO 2015 Detour Route 50 miles

Normally this ride is 46 miles but due to road construction, there will be a 4 mile detour for a total of 50 miles.

The JAX GIRO ride starts at the I-95 Jacksonville Airport Exit. The ride circles past the airport then up to Callahan and over to Yulee before returning to the start near the airport.

Because this ride starts near I-95 it is easy to travel to the start from east, south, west or north Jacksonville. For example it takes less than 40 minutes to travel from the I-95/I-295 on the Southside to the start of this ride.

The course takes back roads through the airport. Most of the subsequent roads on this route have either wide shoulders or bike lanes. There are also very few stop lights or stop signs.

Come try out this ride.
