Show and Go Cycling Rides

These are recurring weekly or monthly Florida mountain (or road) bike rides that are not assigned ride guides. Ride Leaders will be at each ride but no guides are provided. If you can ride our Sunday rides, you'll have a blast on these!

Check the SWAMP Hotline, 813-689-5109, for the latest info on these rides

Social Thursday's: Urban Assault, We ride various routes through Tampa, North Tampa neighborhoods, usually one Thursday a month. Mountain bikes are encouraged, but road bikes are OK, too. Front and rear lights required. See the SWAMP Calendar for locations and dates. Meet at 6:00 pm; roll out at 6:30. Attendance varies for these rides so post your ride intentions on the E-Group or call SWAMP Hotline, 813-689-5109, to get further information.

Full Moon Fridays: We sometimes have members arrange a Dung Beetle Ride near Dade City. This mostly dirt road ride around Dade City and San Antonio will challenge riders of all levels! Rolling Florida hills and minimal traffic make this ride great fun. Mountain bikes suggested. Front and rear lights are required, but with the full moon you won't need your light much. Ride is "Show n Go". Post your ride intentions on the E-Group or call SWAMP Hotline, 813-689-5109, to get further information. Note this ride is not very well attended so read the e-group or forums to make sure others will be there.

Directions: I75 North to exit 293 (old exit 60, Dade City). Turn left (east towards Dade City) and go about 1.5 miles to Clayhill Road (look for Sertoma Youth Ranch sign). Turn left and go about .4 miles until you see a couple of houses on the left. Look for other cars and riders. Park on the side of the road.
