I'm going to be getting out of these freezing temps this weekend and going down to New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Is anyone here from there? Would like to be able to get a ride or two in while I am there. Also, if anyone knows of any group rides I would be interested in that as well.
Thanks
Try contacting Daytona Bike Shop. The phone number is (386) 673-3870. They are actually up in Ormond Beach, but there used to be really good group rides that left from there. The loop would go north up Beach Street in Ormond up to the northern point of the Volusia State Park, cross the Intercoastal and come back south into town on John Anderson. Otherwise, you can always ride north up A1A. After you get north of Ormond, there is about a 15 mile stretch where it is a state park, so no hotels or houses... until you get into Flagler Beach. It's a pretty good loop too.
There used to be weekend group rides that left from the Ormond Post Office on Granada that would ride north to Palm Coast, and then back... it's a 50 mile ride. Also, call around and see if you can find Rob Kish and ride with him. He's a former RAAM (Race Across America) winner who lives in Port Orange (last I knew) which right outside of New Smyrna.
If none of that helps... call Bob's Bike Shop in Port Orange. Their number is (386)761-4691
Good luck
