March 2010 Schedule
February 28, 2010
The Islamorada Street Fair was a great success for the Bike tour this weekend. We had Florida Travel and Leisure Magazine along for the ride and will do a piece on the bike tour in June. These photos were taken from the Pinder Grave Yard located on the Cheeca Lodge Property. Cheeca Lodge Beach was at one time the heart of Islamorada dating back to the mid 1800's. This graveyard is what has survived since the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935. I am going to try to do something new in March and see if this takes off. On top of the bike tours at 10 AM on Saturday and Sunday's I am going to add a walking tour at 1:30 PM on Saturday and Sundays. The walking tour will be shorter, but I will add stops that I do not include in the bike tours. This is because I know some people who are not comfortable with riding or getting a bike is more of a responsibility than they care for. Also, I am going to do the Bike and Kayak Tour in April again. Please call me if you are interested and then I will coordinate a date that works best for everybody. Here is March schedule:- March 6th & 7th- Bike Tour Sat and Sun 10 AM at Hurricane Monument- Walking Tour 1:30 both days.
- March 13th & 14th- Bike Tour Sat and Sun 10 AM- Walking Tour 1:30 both days.
- March 21st- Bike Tour Sunday only 10 AM-Walking Tour Sunday 1:30 PM
- March 27th- Bike tour Sun 10 AM- Walking Tour 1:30 both Sun.

I occasionaly get a phone call asking me about cycling the whole Keys. I have done it several times myself. However, I prefer to take my bike and kayak to different parts of the Keys and experience some of the State Parks, bridges and local islands. With the bike path construction underway throughout the Keys, one day soon, the bike path with the exception of a few bridges will connect the whole length of the Keys. 
The proceeds from the t shirt sales go towards the Islamorada Wrestling Club.
I have lived in Islamorada since 1994 and think this is the greatest place in the world and by far the best place in the Keys. The tour is 6.5 miles long and has 10 stops and it takes two hours to ride. We cover a span of 4,000 years of history. The tour is every Saturday and Sunday starting at 10 AM in Islamorada. Call 305-879-0390 to reserve a spot. My e-mail is Islamoradasports@aol.com. If you have kids, we have a shorter route and the tour is geared towards them. Bring your own bike or contact Mark to arrange a bike rental. Go to Islamorada Bicycle on Facebook to send pictures or contact me.
