Bike Florida
Tours & hub rides in store for you this Fall/Winter!
Amelia Island Hub Tour
Come with us to explore Amelia Island and the surrounding area on this Hub Tour, where our home base will remain the same throughout the tour. Take the ferry and have lunch in Mayport, take a sunset cruise, ride for a day in Jekyll Island and explore Amelia Island’s trails, greenways and historic spaces and places! Staying in one place means no packing and more time to explore!
Fall Sunflower Tour
This is the fall edition of our Sunflower Tour, which is named after Florida’s Beach Sunflower that grows only in Florida, blooms year-round, and requires an abundance of sun and salt to survive. The Florida women’s cycling community is much the same. The more they sweat and the farther they go, the greater their determination and strength. In this spirit, we are inviting a group of women to ride with us across the Sunshine State.
55+ Fall Coast to Coast
Florida has an amazing array of trails throughout the state and the C2C Trail is a true gem! Spend some time in Tarpon Springs, Clermont & Winter Garden. This is a go-at-your-own-pace tour. Start times and pace are up to you. If you are unable to do all the mileage planned for any given day, we can arrange for you and your bike to be picked up and brought back to the hotel when you feel you are done for the day.
All Ages C2C Tour
We’ve seen lots of family bonding on our all-ages tour – bucket lists for both parents and their 18+ children. We ride from St Petersburg to Titusville, stopping along the way check out Tarpon Springs, Winter Garden, Clermont and all of the sights along the way. You will ride between 45-60 miles per day, and can pace yourself.
New Year 55+ C2C
Ring in the New Year with a coast-to-coast tour with new friends! Fully supported ride with time built in for exploring and going at your own pace. This ride has become an iconic part of Bike Florida’s offerings and always sells out quickly. Come along and explore the Pinellas Trail, Starkey Forest, Suncoast Trail, Withlacochee, and more!
Winter Sunflower Tour
Our Sunflower Tours are always sell outs, so we’ve added a third to our tour roster. Come enjoy the comraderie of 35+ women working towards a common goal – biking across Florida for 220+ miles. These tours are go at your own pace, are fully supported and full of laughter, stories of epic bike adventures and fun stops along the way.
