Saturday's Challenge Routes
Choose to ride 100 or 75-miles
As part of the five-star experience, our 100 or 75-mile ride includes a presidential-style police rolling enclosure. The ride also features a caravan of follow vehicles which include: SAG cars, Mack Cycle tech support van, medical support, and ride officials.
The stunning waterfront route will feature the best of Miami. Starting and finishing at the Four Seasons Hotel Miami, we will escort riders over the Julia Tuttle Causeway, through Downtown Miami, over the Rickenbacker Causeway and into Key Biscayne to Virginia Key. The ride will continue through the iconic Coral Gables streets and down the historic Calle Ocho. The route features five waterway crossings in Bal Harbour, Aventura, and Haulover Beach before finishing at the Four Seasons for lunch and relaxation.
Riders will be escorted and in a closed peloton by police vehicles at a minimum 18 mph pace with two rest stops and SAG support provided by Mack Cycle and Fitness. If equipment fails the ride does not stop. Our SAG team will either provide an alternative top of the line bike and/or make the necessary repair to allow members to rejoin the peloton. The route also features two fully-catered rest stops.
Sunday's Gravel Routes
Choose to ride 54, 28 or 16-miles
All routes begin and end at DiMare Farms, a working tomato farm in the Redlands. Each option is part of a continuous loop, allowing riders to choose their depth of immersion while remaining connected throughout the day. The different length loops each travel through gravel roads, water crossings, and beautiful South Florida landscapes of the Redlands, where farmland meets the edge of the Everglades. Riders move through agricultural corridors before entering open terrain shaped by water, sky, and time. At one point, the road disappears into a rideable deep-water crossing. This crossing of the cool, fresh water of the Everglades is just one of many memorable moments!
