Elite is doing Central Florida's premier cycling event, put on by the Florida Freewheelers. We will have groups riding the 70 and 100 mile routes. The Century has approximately 5,000 ft of climbing, so please train for riding hills. We will offer training rides for the hills!

The ride starts at the Clermont Waterfront park on Lake Minneola. Show up early to get a good parking spot and pick up your packet. It will take about 1 hour 40 minutes from Tampa so leave early or get a hotel room in Clermont the night before. There is no mass start, but I think the course opens at 7:30am so lets be ready to go then.

All riders are expected to ride in a pace line safely. New riders are expected to hang in the rear of the group to get acclimated. Please arrive 15 minutes before the start time so the group can discuss the plans, introduce new riders and leave on time. Everyone rides at their own risk and this group assumes no responsibility for any injuries. Team Elite is not responsible for any injuries that may occur during any event we host. Paceline experience is expected if you want to attend this group ride.
