BFSC Sunday 8:00 AM Road Ride has Returned

Beaches First Street Cycling Sunday 8:00 AM Road Ride has Returned.

Leave - at 8:00 AM from the Lodge parking lot
Ride Pace - 19 - 22 MPH
Distance - 40 - 55 miles 
Route varies each week
No Drop - Will wait on mechanical issues Ride

Several riders have inquired about a shorter distance and little slower ride pace like the old 8:00 BFSC Sunday ride. Because they may have not been riding too much and cannot or do not want to  maintain the Open Road faster ride pace of 22 -24 mph for 70 - 80 mile ride. Or just want to ride something different.

Now on Sunday you will have several optional road rides;

  1. Slightly slower pace BFSC 8:00 AM 
  2. Open Road 7:30 AM - Check with Open Road Beach store
  3. There is a Sunday 210/DuPrez Furniture ride - Check their Facebook page or David Smith

BFSC Tuesday/Thursday County Line Road Ride Starts TODAY - Tuesday, March 11 2014

BFSC Tuesday/Thursday 6:30 PM County Line Ride starts back up due the Daylight Savings time change Tonight, Tuesday, March 11. 

Sunset begins @ 7:32 PM - Twilight Ends @ 7:55 PM (if No Clouds)

In order to save time we are going to skip the warm-up thru the neighborhood, ride straight down PVB, until we have sufficient daylight to do so.

It will be a short spokes route in Nocatee until we have sufficient daylight to go longer.

Pay ATTENTION to the TURNS Directions!!!

The plan is to ride down PVB until the first of April.
