One reason the Everglades Bicycle Club is unique and special is the EBC training rides each Saturday.   Our Saturday rides are successful thanks to the time our ride leaders volunteer and dedicate.

  • Must be a safe cyclist who can average between 14-18 and/or 16-22 MPH and ride a total of 40 miles on one ride.
  • Must be a great role model for cycling safety and not afraid to coach and train new riders AND experienced riders on the RIGHT and LEGAL way to ride in groups and in traffic (we will train you on the technical expertise).

  • Must be willing to commit to leading up to 2 rides a month (Saturdays and an occasional Sunday if needed for the new beginner ride).
  • Must volunteer for (2-3 rides) of on the road practice, being mentored/shadowed by a current and experienced ride leader. This time is for you to learn the routes and best practices for coaching and leading EBC leader-led rides.
