Other Rides
Cycle For LifeThe first ride of the year consists of 30 and 65 mile routes starting and ending at the Ring Power complex near World Golf Village. It is organized by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation – a national charity that supports the development of new drugs to fight the disease, improve the quality of life for those with CF, and ultimately to find a cure.
MS Muck Ruckus
This is not a ride for us but it is another fun and exciting way to support the MS Society. Participants run a 10km (6 mile) course consisting of various obstacles mostly surrounded by mud. We man the Key Check tent where participants can leave their keys and other belongings while they run the course. It's a lot of fun and a great social event.
Tour de Forts
Five rides of different lengths along a common course from north Jacksonville to Fernandina Beach and back. It is held every year in April and is sponsored by the North Florida Bicycle Club.
Training Rides
As a lead-up to the MS Bike Tour, there are several 30 to 50 mile training rides sponsored by the local bicycle shops throughout the months of July, August and September.
Watermelon Ride
Every year, a couple of weeks before the MS Bike Tour, there is a multi-route, multi-distance ride starting in St. Augustine and riding around St. Johns county as the final training ride before the MS Bike Tour. It is organized by the North Florida Bicycle Club.
Patriot's Memorial Ride
