Check out last year's event!

Are you ready to take on the challenge of a 100, 68 or 32 mile ride through Brooksville?!
Instead of a registration fee, we encourage all participants to donate a new, unwrapped toy or gently used bicycle to our toy drive for Guardian Ad Litem of Hernando County.

For the first time, there will be 2 SAG stops en route at mile 15 and 51. The route also passes numerous convenience stores and parks which will serve as extra supply/meet up points should you need anything.
The Hernando County Sheriff's Department will be guiding us safely through town for the start of our ride- the rest of the route is open roads so please be aware! The course is very well marked.

This year, we are adding a T-shirt option! We are super stoked to offer Performance Tee’s with the event logo and route graphic. Make sure to add one to your registration. Shirts will be available until 2 weeks before the event for $25. After that, they will be $30. We will continue to host the ride for free, so there is no requirement to purchase; But this is a great way to show off your accomplishment!

Flat Repair Clinic

It's Florida and it's hot! Don't get caught out on a ride with a flat tire and have to hike your bike 5 miles to the closest spot Uber can pick you up. It's important to carry what you need to take care of this super common bike ailment. It's even better if you know how to fix that flat tire yourself and get back to your ride. Come let our master mechanic show you what you should you be carrying with you and how to change that flat tire. See you there!

When: TBA at 10am

Pedal to the Pig!

Never Bikepacked? Experienced Bikepacker?
Come out Saturday, September 30th, and pedal with us for a quick overnight bikepack to Hog Island! It'll be casual, fun, and an awesome learning experience if you've never done these kind of shenanigans before.

There will be two routes offered, so pick your poison. One will be a shorter 20 mileish pavement route well suited for first-timers. The other will share much of the same route, with the addition of about 10 miles of forest road and singletrack trails through Croom.
Either way will be fun, because it's on a bicycle (duh).
It is a self-supported ride, so make sure you bring your own repair necessities, along with camping gear, and food. A Dollar General is nearby, so snacks and drinks can be found there.
A fire will be had, drinks drunk, pedals turned, laughs produced, and memories made..
