The BIG Florida Ryde - May 13th and 14th

During this statewide two day ryde we will visit with some of the finest Can Am Dealers in the State of Florida. Our journey will begin at Central Florida Powersports in Kissimmee, FL and end at Route One Motorsports in Grant, FL. Our overnight will be in the Fort Myers FL area.

We will travel as far north as Ocala and as far south as Miami. Our purpose will be to raise awareness of the Can Am Dealers and to call attention to them and the Can Am Spyder Brand as we travel together around the state. The full two day journey will be an interesting combination of all different types of roads and scenery. You may wish to ryde with us the entire trip or only meet up and ryde a single or more link along the way, whatever works best for you.

We know that work schedules may stop many of you from joining for the entire trip, but we truly hope that you will join us somewhere along the way. Below is our approximate schedule as to when we will arrive and depart at each dealership so that you will have many options to join the group.

For each 100 miles you complete of this ryde you will receive an entry into the May drawing for $500 of Can Am Parts & Accessories. With ten stops along the way, meals and an overnight we will really have time to get to know each other and form new friendships and pick up new
ryde buddies.

Hope to see you on the Road.

Ryde to Miami and Upper Florida Keys - April 3rd

Our new South Florida chapter in Miami is having an organization meeting & first group ryde on Sunday April 3, 2016.

There will be a Pancake Breakfast from 8:30am until 10:30am at Riva Motorsports Miami, Fl followed by a group ryde into the Upper Keys,  then of course a return to home.

This isn’t just around the corner so those hardy folks who wish to join us to support our new chapter will leave the Orlando area at 4:30am to arrive in Miami for Breakfast.

Janique, our supportive friend from BRP will also attend the event, and we are hoping for a great turnout of new South Florida friends.   This is a bit of a challenging ryde but if we would just starting, we would want them to support us, so let’s get tough and make this ryde.   Please sign up to join the caravan.

We will also arrange a stop along the way to pick-up others along the coast.
