The dates are set for the Ridge Riders 3rd Annual Pedals and Paddles at Alafia River State Park. Friday June 25 thru Sunday June 27. Campsites are available at Reserveamerica.com. Book your sites early to be sure you get a campsite. Everybody is welcome! More details coming soon.

Ridge Riders will get together at Alafia State Park. We all know that Alafia offers some pretty good mountain biking, and we can combine it with a day of fun on the river. If you have not seen the Alafia River, you are missing out. The outpost rents canoes and kayaks, or bring your own. Camping at the park is only minutes away from the river. Anybody interested, please post up!

We already have several RRMBA members booked with sites and signed up! The River has several rope swings and picnic area's along the way. We had a blast the first two years and are planning on the same this year.

Friday night : arrive at Alafia and go for a late afternoon ride.
Saturday : Head to the River, finishing up around 3ish
and then go for a ride.
Sunday : Group ride, all levels.
