We are starting to work on the new Beaches First Street Cycling bike kits for 2012, and as part of that, we are looking to renew 2011 sponsors and for new sponsors. If you, or someone that you know, would like to be a kit sponsor this year, please contact Walter Campbell: cyclecamp@comcast.net or Robert Buck: mailto:robertbuck@comcast.net. We can provide more information about cost, logo placement, and artwork requirements.

Beaches First Street Cycling Ride Schedule

Lately due to the changing weather on Sunday, there are still two optional bike rides on Sunday, a Group Road Ride and a Group Mountain Bike Ride. Check back on the BFSC Facebook page on late Saturday or early Sunday morning to see which ride option a majority of our riders have chosen to ride.

There have been a small group of both mountain bikers and road riders showing up for the respective ride.
 
Saturday – 8:00 AM @ the Lodge – 40 miles
The BFSC Saturday Ride warms up together for the first 5 to 6 miles.
The Ride Pace begins to pick up quickly to the Palm Valley Bridge.
The BFSC splits into 2 groups base on Ride Pace either at the PV Bridge
Or at the Traffic Light at Crosswater Parkway & Old 210
