Endless Summer Watermelon Ride - Amelia Island

About this event



The 2024 Endless Summer Watermelon Ride will kick off on Amelia Island, Florida. It will take riders along scenic routes down the East Coast beaches and alongside the St. John’s River just north of Jacksonville, FL. With the tourists having returned home after Labor Day, this is the perfect time to experience the beauty of Florida’s First Coast on two wheels.
 
Five routes: 100, 73, 52, 30 and 11 miles. For those seeking a faster pace, the 100 and 73-mile routes include sections as long as 25 miles with no stop signs or traffic lights. End of most routes, riders will enjoy nine miles of off-road paved bicycle trail along the Talbot barrier islands. The 11-mile Family Fun Ride within Fort Clinch State Park,  includes a free tour of the fort and a rest stop at the beach.
 
All routes are clearly marked and supported by police, SAG vehicles, Ride Marshalls, and Sweeps. We have well-stocked rest stops with bicycle shop mechanics available along the way. After the ride, participants can join us for a delicious taco lunch and refreshing watermelon! We will also be offering Snow Cones at the Burney Park Rest Stop!
