The Frank Stark Ride has been a tradition for the last 21 years. It features a scenic ride along the Atlantic coast as well as a beautiful tour through beautiful western Boca Raton. There will be plenty of well stocked rest stops along the way and full Sag Support during the ride. Rest stops will have themes that will bring smiles to those that partake. The post-ride meal will hit the spot after a ride.

The Florida Bicycle Month from Charlie Crist is another way to get his face in the newspaper and on tv. There is nothing new in it and the fact that local government, so called elected official,are making decisions means that personal and financial interest will have priority.
Let’s invite Charlie Crist for a bike ride from Dade-Broward county to the Keys. I remember reading that a kids and a mom got fined for riding their bikes to school! Really wonder what Charlie is talking about.
