Key West
to
Jupiter
|
- On Day One you will be a cyclo tourist in
southeast Florida. You will
transit some quite busy sections through the Keys and Miami Beach on
your way to Jupiter. We cannot stress enough that if you are
not
comfortable riding in traffic, DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS RIDE.
We don't
want anyone saying afterwards "Had I known about the traffic
...".
- For the most part on any heavy traffic roads there
are good shoulders and/or bike paths available for riding.
- The
Key West start and the Keys provide a unique riding
experience.
It’s a beautiful ride. Riding through
Miami, sometimes called “The Capital of the
Caribbean”, and Miami Beach, only add to that experience, but the
combination
does make for a long day. The first overnight is Jupiter FL,
roughly a
430km day.

Day 2
Jupiter
to
Daytona Beach |
- On Day 2, from Jupiter
to the Oceanside Inn in Daytona Beach, you will see a lot of water –
ocean
and
Intracoastal Waterway. Both South Florida and Central Florida
Randonneurs
use these roads extensively.
- Most people
will arrive in Daytona Beach in
good time to perhaps dip their toes in the ocean on the “World’s Most
Famous
Beach”. Many cyclists ride up and down the beach, it’s that
hard packed
and flat … no, we don’t actually have beach riding on the cue sheet,
but it was
tempting. Who knows, we could change our mind … have to check
out the
tides for that day.
- The 1000k
riders will have an extra loop in Daytona Beach to make up distance
|
Day 3
Daytona Beach
to
Lake Wales |
- Day
3, from Daytona Beach to the Hampton Inn, Lake Wales, takes you
inland.
You will actually have some climbing on the hills around Orlando.
|
Day 4
Lake Wales
to
Fort Myers Beach |
- Day
4 takes you back to Fort Myers Beach, the starting point for most
riders who
took the ferry over to Key West.
