Endless Summer Watermelon Ride
On Sunday, September 12, 2010 @ 7:00 AM, the North Florida Bicycle Club will present the 21st annual Endless Summer Watermelon Ride, a classic well supported one-day bicycle event designed for the experienced road rider, the touring cyclist, the intermediate and beginner cyclists alike. Ride headquarters is located at the St Augustine Amphitheatre, 1340 A1A South. The route distances are 30, 56, 68 and 100 miles and traverse lightly traveled country roads featuring scenic ocean and river views with some routes passing thru historic St. Augustine, America's oldest continuously occupied city. Fees are $30 for members or $40 for non-members. Optional membership dues are $20 individual or $25 family.
The registration Closing Date will be Wednesday, September 08, 2010 @ 9:00 PM. Get more information and register for the ride by CLICKING HERE.
The ride is again taking place on the second day of the St. Augustine Cycling Festival, which is also going to be bigger and better than last year. The festival is sponsored by the St Johns County Recreation and Parks Dept and the N. Florida Council of the Boy Scouts for the purpose of promoting Scouting in the area. There will be lots of cycling related vendors and displays, Bike Safety Clinics, a Tricycle Time Trial for prizes, several raffles prizes including a high end road bike donated by Champion. Saturday afternoon from 4pm to 8pm there will be two bands on stage for your free entertainment. They are the very popular local bands called Trap Door and Pili Pili.
For the first time, we will make early packet pick-up available on Saturday between 1pm and 4pm. This should help alleviate some of the congestion on Sunday before the rides. Come on down to the Festival on Saturday and take advantage of the early packet pick-up.
If you have questions about the ride, most of the details can be found on NFBC's homepage or by going to Active.com. We will also soon have a link to the cycling festival website available on the nfbc.us homepage.
