Arrive 15 minutes prior to ride start time. Various speeds and routes south to Englewood and back. Ride distances of 25-35 miles. Ride is mainly along back roads with return route up Manasota Key. Depending on time of year there is a stop at the Englewood Farmers Market. Non CCBC members must sign a one time Waiver of Liability.

Either a Ride Starter or Ride Leader will organize the ride start. Prior to the start:
1. Rider Leaders should identify themselves and the ride speed and distance.
2. Riders should choose a Ride Leader and group based on their riding ability.
3. Ride Leader should have no more than 8-10 riders including a sweep. If the number of riders exceeds 10 then the group needs to be broken into two groups with one following at a significant distance. Need to maintain a safe gap for vehicles to pass between groups.
4. Ride Starter will make any general announcements and pertinent safety information.
5. Ride Starter will ask Ride Leaders to discuss with their group of riders the specific route, rest stops, water breaks, and safety issues. A Ride Sweep needs to be assigned except for a rotating pace line ride.
6. Ride Starter will start the ride with the fastest group sent out first followed by the next speed group.
