I found it much nicer (and safer) than riding the highway in and out of Key West! Don't believe watch the news video in above link. Our first hotel is just off the Causeway,
Only two hotels for the 7 day span! So only 2 mandatory biking days (when we switch hotels day 4 and 7). Want to do a fishing charter one day—no problem if day 1, 2 , 4 or 5! A spa day or beach day —no problem! Avid cyclist wanting the maximum mileage—300 miles during the 7 days—no problem! Want to just bike 20 miles when we switch hotels so 40 miles you or your partner can if you like. The only thing we can't give you is hills! 😊
As I live here I can design routes for 50+ miles a day or less than half that. I am working on multiple options for every day now.
Others price this trip at $3,000! We can do it more affordably for a smaller group of 12 to 24--for $1,492 double occupancy (early bird pricing until 9-30-2024, then $1,795). Private room add $995. Nonriders are welcome they pay just $1100 and are invited to all functions and may ride with SAG.
Great weather:
In December, Dunedin, Florida typically has warm and sunny weather with an average high temperature of 75°F. The average low is 58°F, with a average of 2.5 inches of rainfall

FYI here are 30 of Dunedin’s restaurants https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g34187-Dunedin_Florida.html
We will include a paddle. If tides work it could be this one that has optional distances and we land on a sandy beach of a deserted island. It is a fun kayak trip. https://4142298.xyz/randomfun/events/288335846/
RSVP here now as a place holder, no obligation. Do this trip and like 19 out of 20 people at my local rides and paddles who came from out of state you will move here too.
Come bike in paradise for New Years!
