  • Description
    Come and Join us to this fun Bike Ride on the paved leeves of Lake Okeechobee....and...Social Gathering after the Bike Ride....

    Everybody is Welcome...You can invite/bring your friends....and...
    Remember We will have a social gathering at the end of the Ride...with some ...food and refreshment...that everybody will bring to share with each other....

    Details of the Ride:

    We will start at at John Stretch Park right on the lakes edge and the levee entrance. You can see more info about the park and its location at this web site:
    http://www.pbcgov.com/parks/locations/johnstretch.htm

    We will have 3 distances...but...everybody will complete the first 44 miles...and...from there...it's up to you the 2 optional distances....55 miles...and...66 miles

    The ride will depart at 8:00 am...Puntual...Please arrive at 7:30 am to have enough time to get prepared...

    It's not a Race...It's a fun socail ride...for first timers and veterans too...We will have 2 Groups...the fasters: 19-20 mph and slowers: 16-18 mph....and...nobody will be left behind even if you flat...the idea is to be all together...

    The Route itinerary is as follows:

      START at John Stretch Park at 8:00 am

      22 miles on the paved levess of Lake Okeechobee till the Moore Haven Lock & Damn...with a short detour off at mile 8.40 in Clewiston to cross a canal...and...back on the levees...
      At mile 22 we will do an U-turn....but...stopping...for 5 minutes techinical stop at the Restrooms...and...back to the John Stretch Park...
      Back to the Park...We will have the option to continue...for
    5.5 miles more till South Bay RV Park or 11 miles more till Paul Rardin Park and back....to complete the 55 or 66 miles....

      Note: Be aware of the windy conditions in this area....the winds usually come from NE and start to pick-up...that means...we will fly on our way out for the first 22 miles...but...we will have the head/crosswinds on our way back....Ufffff...!!!

      Remember to bring enough hydration / goodies require for the distances...and...spare tubes....just in case a flat....

      Please....We really appreciate your confirmation....!!!

      Thanks in advance....and....Hope to See ya soon....!!!

      Robert and Velo
