Sarasota: SATURDAY Ride - 32 miles / 200'

  • Bee Ridge Park 4430 S Lockwood Ridge Rd Sarasota, FL, 34232 United States (map)

Join us for our weekly SATURDAY Member* ride!

We’ve been riding this route for 30 years—and STILL love it! Long straight-aways and Fun circuits on Great Roads! One nice feature: if you have a mechanical or other issue you can “jump back in” due to the nature of the course—cool ! This is a “milder” paced ride compared to our SUNDAY event.

*Non-Members are WELCOME to come out for a "test" ride.

Note: This ride is intended to be NO DROP. However, Due to the wide-range of fitness and ability levels among cyclists, you should load the course onto your GPS device in case you become separated from the group (ahead OR behind!) Communication is the key! This is our Chapter’s “moderate” ride!!
