What Prompted FloridaCycling.us?

I’ve been cycling with groups for over 30 years including century charity rides, triathlons, MTB, gravel and special events. 

However, when I moved to South Central Florida, I had to start all over to find group rides and events that fit my pace.  I spent hours researching to find great trails and routes to explore.  I searched online, talked to bike shops and randomly talked with a group of riders.

Then this idea popped up.  

Why not create a website and newsletter dedicated to listing group bike rides, events and routes that would be the one place, the one source, where fellow cyclists could find “their ride” and save them hours of searching.

Our name, FloridaCycling.us says who we are.  While “.us” is the domain which stands for United States, it also means “us” – those of us who make up the Florida cycling community.

Whether you are on two wheels, three wheels, on a road bike, mountain bike, gravel bike, or an e-bike, you are one of “us”. Whatever your pace and preferred distance you are part of “us”.

What’s with the Ibis Bird Mascot?

One day while searching online for rides, with not much luck, I looked out the window of our Florida home.  A flock of ibis walked across our lawn.  Their orange beaks and legs and white feathers are striking. 

Soon they took off in group flight.  Beautiful.  They clearly love to flock and fly together.  Voila! Our mascot was adopted.  Just like ibises, we want Florida cyclists to discover the fun of flocking together, be it on roads, MTB trails, or gravel trails.

Enjoy searching FloridaCycling.us, as your go-to-place to stay inspired and engaged in a healthy sport for a lifetime.  Subscribe to our eNewsletter.  It’s delivered directly into your inbox.  Subscribe for free or upgrade to a paid subscription for full access.
