Thanks for joining us!

As our 2025-2026 tour season comes to an end, we wanted to thank you for joining us! We spent 6 months crossing the beautiful state of Florida as the seasons changed, and every coast-to-coast tour was a different experience. We also visited the beautiful Amelia Island to cycle its tree-lined trails, enjoy the historic downtown, waterways & beachfront.

We rounded out the season with our semi-annual Lighthouse Tour. Weekends in between kept our team hopping: volunteering at rest stops for the Tour de Parks (Friends of the Legacy Trail), holding one-day events such as our 35/50 ride on the Withlacochee Trail during CroomFest (Swamp Mountain Bike Club), and tabling/manning rest stops at Santos Fat Tire Festival (Ocala Mountain Bike Club).

It was a most excellent season of tours with a few hiccups here and there. We truly appreciate our participants being able to pivot when a plan doesn’t go… as planned. Part of being a good cyclist (and a good cycling company) is knowing how to be flexible with changing conditions, and every participant on this past touring season, riders and staff alike, proved they were up to the challenges that a multi-day tour brings.

On to the next season!

Bike Florida President's message

As the 2025-2026 Bike Florida bike tour season winds down, we look back on all the great moments we shared on the trail and during the evenings. We love sharing Florida’s beauty with our tour participants, especially those coming down from cold climates to have a sunny break from winter. There is such joy in sharing a group experience that involves the outdoors and camaraderie.

We’re always striving to improve our tours, and we welcome your feedback. Our goal is to make everyone’s tour experience special and memorable.

I can’t wait to see you on an upcoming tour!

Safe riding,

Lisa M. Lake
Executive Director, Bike Florida
