What are you doing this weekend?

Now that the temperature and humidity levels have dropped a bit, what better time to ride bicycles than now. This weekend there are a wide variety of bike events from which to choose. Sunday, 10/25, alone offers six century options (as well as other distances). From the Suwannee Fat Tire Festival in White Springs to the Homestead Speedway Bicycle Festival in Homestead, nearly every part of the state is covered with outstanding events. Go to the Florida Bicycle Touring Calendar for a list of events, then under “Detail Pages”,  click October. Proceeds from Ute’s October Blast – The Share the Road Memorial Ride in Ft. Lauderdale benefit FBA.

There are also a variety of festivals including the Central Florida Veg Fest in cooperation with Climate Action Day in Orlando. FBA board member Mighk Wilson has arranged to run “Bike Buses” from around Orlando to the festival at Loch Haven Park. We’ll even store your festival purchases at the FBA booth. If you aren’t able to carry them home on your bike,  we’ll also offer a cargo bike service.

Regardless of which event you decide to participate, make plans to ride this weekend.
