 Join the North Florida Bicycle Club Travel Team for the ultimate girls’ weekend on the inaugural tour named after Florida’s Beach Sunflower, which grows only in Florida, blooms year-round, and requires an abundance of sun and salt to survive. Beach Sun flowers are not delicate flowers. It is in this spirit that Bike Florida will host a group of forty (40) women to ride 210 miles across the Sunshine State, from Coast to Coast in a span of four days.

The $975 registration fee covers three hotel nights double occupancy (single rooms available for an extra fee during registration), SAG, insurance, support staff, event jersey, maps, a daily happy hour, and transportation from St Petersburg to Titusville. 

Riders will be bussed (luggage, bikes and all) on the opening day from the meeting point in St Petersburg to Titusville. The cyclists will then ride back to St Petersburg. Along the ride, the bus will bring all luggage and belongings to the next hotel.

The tour is fully supported, and almost all of the routes use trails separated from motorized vehicles. At the halfway point of each day’s ride, there is a SAG stop and shuttle that you can take to the destination if you want stop early that day.

The NFBC Travel Team Captain Virginia Deroy will be leading our club’s riders at the Sunflower Tour. Please contact her at nfbctravelteam@nfbc.us is you have registered for the ride or if you have questions about the ride. Be sure to sign in with Virginia at the ride to get NFBC mileage credit for the ride. The first day of the ride will be NFBC jersey day for the Travel Team, please wear you NFBC gear that day for the group picture. Of course, you can wear NFBC jerseys on subsequent days as well.
