The Coastal Cruisers Bicycle Club has been in existence for over thirty years and enjoys a
membership today of well over the 500 mark. Our rides generally extend throughout Sarasota
and Charlotte Counties, to include the communities of Venice, Sarasota, North Port, Port
Charlotte, Rotonda, Englewood, Nokomis, Punta Gorda and Boca Grande. Even with current
expanding population and development of the area, we are fortunate to find back roads and
bikeways which offer viable riding routes and wonderful Florida views.
Our regularly scheduled rides and activities meet the wide riding interests and abilities of
members. Year round we celebrate the joy of bicycling while safety is a priority and fitness is
a motivator. Fun and friendship are prized.
Welcome to our Website and to our Club
Monthly Meetings are held during the
"Season" and include lively presentations.
Socials and Events are held throughout the
year -- the "Pasta Bash," Withlacoochee
Trail Ride, Holiday Party, Memorial Ride,
Century Ride, Sunset Social, and
occasional cafe stops either midway or
after rides. Participating bike shops in the
area offer a 10% discount on parts and
accessories to club members.
The Pasta Bash Ride is held annually in November and draws over 200 riders from South
Florida to ride the World's Flattest Metric Century, a Fun-in-the-Sun Half Metric, or a Calm and
Cool Quarter Metric. This event includes a social get-together, a wonderful pasta meal and
continental breakfast, door prizes, Tee-shirt, SAG support, and a well-stocked rest stop.
The Withlacoochee State Trail is a 46-mile long Rails-to-Trails project located in scenic
Inverness, Florida. Club members enjoy two days of riding and camaraderie and many achieve
personal best distances.
The Memorial Ride is traditionally held early in the calendar year. It honors our Club's
deceased members and celebrates what they would wish us to do - ride, eat, socialize, and
have fun!
Safe biking and have fun!
