Club Ride
Registration is not Required
Payment In Full In Advance Only
NFBC members only ride. Non-members may try 3 NFBC rides before joining. You must sign the ride waiver to participate in the ride and to earn club points and mileage. There will be a Safety Briefing Meeting 10 minutes before the start of the ride. Please arrive at the starting point early enough to get set up before the pre-ride meeting. Helmets required on all NFBC rides.

Hurricane Irma has upset our rides over two weekends. First it cancelled our Endless Summer Watermelon Ride event on September 10 and the Jacksonville Baldwin Rail Trail will not be in good enough condition for the September 17 NFBC Sunday Ride.

Thus, we are changing the venue of the Sunday September 17 to Amelia Island and we will do the Little Watermelon Ride.  This 55-mile A/ B ride will start at Amelia Island Main Beach (near the skateboard park). We will travel to the west side of the island and down to A1A Heckscher closely following Watermelon route over the Sister’s Creek Bridge and then return to Amelia Island along the beach. 

If possible please wear an NFBC jersey. We will take some pictures for 2018 ESWR advertising.
