Cycling
10 Mile - Mystery Ride
The amazing Mystery ride is back! This 10-mile ride consists of various stops to participate in a special fun surprise while cycling!
15 Mile Ride
The 15-mile (Quarter Metric Century) is a great opportunity to mostly ride on sidewalks, although parts must traverse streets. Staying in the immediate Punta Gorda area, this is a great opportunity to participate in a safer, supported ride.
30 Mile Ride
Back by popular demand, the Pedal and Play in Paradise 30-mile (Half Metric) ride will return to long stretches of straight-away rides, allowing for more effective pacelines. This does come with an increased need for rider caution as these routes include high-speed roadways, familiar to local riders. The 30-mile route includes Jones Loop and the “bull pen.”
62 Mile Ride
Back by popular demand, the Pedal and Play in Paradise 62-mile (Metric Century) ride will return to long stretches of straight-away rides, allowing for more effective pacelines. This does come with an increased need for rider caution as this route include high-speed roadways, familiar to local riders. The 62-mile route includes Burnt Store to Notre Dame, Webb Lake, US-41 to Royal Road, Jones Loop, and Riverside to Cleveland Loop.
