Rides and Event Updates....
NEW!! Coaches Ride | Wednesdays at 6 pm
This group training ride is guaranteed to be fun, challenging and allow you to learn from an experience and certified cycling coach. But only if you're ready to roll right at 6pm. So meet a few minutes early to pump, prep or re-up on ride supplies, like a spare tube, gel or favorite ride-ju-ju you just can't leave without...
What it is: A 28 - 32 mile group ride depending on wind conditions and the route chosen that day. Coach Matt Erickson and Co-Ride-Leader Lila Methot take the group for a solid, 2 hour, tempo ride with proper warm-up before the group brings the tempo up to hold a 20 mph average speed for the ride. Count on Matt and Lila to keep the group safe, fun and challenged with different skills drills, sprints and technique coaching throughout.
What you need:
- A bike in safe operating condition you can ride at or near 18 miles per hour for at least an hour
- A good attitude geared to having fun and getting a good work-out
- A flat-repair kit, water bottle
- A small snack, energy bar etc.
- A helmet
- A map
Riders of all ages and abilities are encouraged to join-in. Those less experienced and unsure of their ability to maintain at least 18 mph during the ride can grab a map of the route from the shop before heading out and will have a "sweeper" riding between 17 - 18 mph at the back of the group after the 15 minute warm-up.
For more information call the Trek St. Pete Store or Call Coach Erickson for more details.

St.Pete "Bike 'N' Eat" | Restaurant Tour
The St. Pete "Bike and Eat" was on Saturday April 23rd. Thanks to everyone who came out and spent their afternoon with us cruising around to our locally owned restaurants. Click here for some great photos! The restaurant tour was attended by about 90 people and was a fantastic success. We started at Tour De Pizza, continued on to The Hangar, Taco Bus, Grand Central Perc, and 400 Beach Seafood and Tap House. We ended our tour at Harvey's 4th Street Grill. Everyone had a great time. This will be an annual event. We are looking forward to the next one already.
