The Everglades Bicycle Club, with a little help from their friends, announces the 28th. Annual Sebring Spring Break Weekend from Friday May 10th thru Sunday May 12th.
Please come and join us for a weekend of riding, eating, socializing and generally hanging out with your “newest best” friends before the onslaught of the Florida summer.
The mainly flat to gently rolling terrain is a far cry from the craziness of urban Miami, the weather usually pleasantly warm at this time of year makes it a joy to be on a bicycle.
Marked and mapped rides of various lengths are available to suit all levels of ability, although the emphasis is on the longer rides (a metric on Friday, and the choice of either another metric or century on Saturday) which are supported with a rest-stop supplied with a verity of fresh fruit, energy bars, wholesome foods and of course, the ubiquitous Gatorade.
On-call SAG is also provided. Other shorter rides are marked and maps provided for the riders enjoyment whenever the urge takes hold.
The social headquarters is the historic Kenilworth Lodge. Providing a base of operations, from initial signing-in to the start and finish of all rides, also it will be noted that, lazy lolling in and around the pool, the imbuing of liquid libations and sometimes even worthwhile conversation takes place.
Please reserve your rooms now to secure the coveted cottages, www.kenilworthlodge.com /(800) 423-5939.
A continental breakfast (which means nothing is fried) is available to registered participants consisting of bagels, cereal, coffee, fresh local (we are told) orange juice and other choice items.
After the rides, massages will be available to ease those over worked muscles, perhaps even legs, on both Friday and Saturday. On Sunday massage yourself, or each other.
Saturday afternoon (actually early evening), sees the return of the optional BBQ, served ‘al fresco’ between the efficiencies and pool, a delicious example of the BBQ Art catered by Woody’s of Winter Haven http://www.woodys.com serving the time honored ribs, chicken, sides, you know, the usual, the infamous banana pie desert, iced tea or lemonade (checkout the website) by all means bring your beverage of choice.
So, bring the kids, bring yourselves, bring everything but your stress, come and relax on the veranda (porch) ensconced in one of the Kenilworth rocking chairs, review the day’s follies and foibles, make them up, tell giant untruths, (everybody else does) and let your cares and woes drift away in the company of your newest best friends.
