Come out to celebrate Valentine's (OR HATE IT!!)

5901 Sun Blvd #113, St. Petersburg, FL 33715

Get a coffee!!! We will start riding no later than 07:12 am.. sunrise.

Route is here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/35142289
 

Everyone is on their own, but we can meet up and cross paths at the breweries.... so, you are all adults and I am not publishing a recommended gear list, not trying to force a helmet on you, or not trying to push COVID guidelines. Be smart, be safe. Bike lock advised.... you might be walking home without it. Mask advised, you might be shamed out of the area without it. DEF bring cash/card, you WILL be thirsty without it.

The stops are all listed on the route attached in the link. There are some extra legs that could be trimmed from the route to make for a shorter ride. You can save 10 miles by deleting the Honeymoon Island tour. You can shave more than half of the route by stopping in Dunedin and turning back down south to the start.

It would be nice to see others at the start at 6:30 and maybe ride in a loose group for camaraderie..

I have been riding alot by myself or with other over in Deland. COVID has canceled ALOT of my extended trips so I am just throwing this out there as a pre-heater for when I start really conducting serious rides under Natiive Cycling Route Series. I have many rides I am developing and will be announcing here. The first one is called Tour de Taco (I made up the name and was proud until I google it and find out a thousand others had the same idea).. this ride will be held in Ruskin/Wimauma FL. Guess what??? It's a donation based ride so bring cash and spread some love. I develop the route. I start you off with instructions. I am a mobile rescue vehicle. There will be several SAG stops with water, gatorade, some brews and shots of spicy tequila. You will have plenty of Taco stands trying to lure you in... so pick wisely. There is a 60, 40, and a 20 mile route. They will be posted to my website once all planning is complete. Tour de Taco ride will take place in March.
