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.
