Route Highlights

Our routes were designed with safety in mind and will satisfy every style and ability of rider:

 

16 miles - Ride Right - This family friendly route is comprised mainly of right turns making it a low-stress, enjoyable ride for those new to cycling or group events. Riders will enjoy the Greenbrook Adventure Park Trail and a rest stop at the Sarasota Equine Associates facility.

 

26.2 miles - The Marathon - A little easier than running 26.2 miles, this route is perfect for those who want a little more pedaling. Riders will enjoy a trip on the Greenbrook Adventure Park Trail and then a stop at Linger Lodge - one of the area’s quirkiest restaurants. Named by Forbes.com as one of Most Unusual Restaurants in the World, Linger Lodge sits on the banks of the beautiful, picturesque Braden River.

 

34 miles - Ride out of the suburbs and into Florida history. This route will take you out to The Miakka School, a main rest stop servicing all of the longer routes. The school was built in 1914 and is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

 

58 miles - Ride out to the main rest stop at The Miakka School and then continue on rural roads for a stop at the Myakka City gas station, a favorite stop for local riders.

 

72 miles  - Follow the 58 mile route with an extra loop out to the Cameron Daiken Dairy rest stop.

 

100 miles - Adding to your two visits to The Miakka School rest stop, a bonus stop at Solomon’s Castle will be sure to entice you to plan a visit in the future to see the hand built castle made from newspaper printing plates. It’s definitely a local landmark attracting visitors from around the world. The roads leading to it are a favorite among local cyclists.
