Tour de Florida

Friday, January 7th - Monday, January 17th, 2022

This 11-day ride offers the opportunity to escape winter’s cold and enjoy the endless sun of southern Florida, all while creating an opportunity to serve those in need of a decent place in which to live. 

It has all the components of a perfect Fuller Center ride…great routes, great church hosts, and a great build day!

What to expect on the Tour de Florida:

  • Seven riding days, typically 70-75 miles per day
  • Build day with Big Lake Fuller Center (Okeechobee)
  • High temperatures typically average in the 70’s
  • Ocean views from your bike seat
  • Wonderfully hospitable hosts

The Perfect Winter Ride

After arriving to Orlando on Friday evening, we will begin orientation on Saturday morning and then strike out east to the Atlantic coast at Cocoa Beach that same day. There we will spend Sunday with time for morning worship, completing orientation, and enjoying the beach! Then we’ll continue our ride south to the Florida Keys.

On Tuesday we’ll take a day off the bikes to drive to Okeechobee, where we will build with Big Lake Fuller Center. Our ride will conclude in Key West on the following Sunday, where we will spend the night and depart Monday morning. Riders can be dropped off at the airport in Miami or Orlando, or dropped back at their car near our starting church location.

There is a lot to love on the Bike Adventure’s Tour de Florida!
