We may be in Florida but we still have our traditions. Join our amazing VP this year in our second annual Polar Bear Ryde. Make sure you bring a towel because you could get wet! So Mark your calendars and save the date for the first ryde of the year.

2020 Ryde details:

Meet up at 8:00 am at Wawa, 2449 N Orange Blossom Trail, Kissimmee, FL near Central Florida Powersports. Prompt departure is at 8:30 am. This year’s ryde will take us south on State Route 523 to Kenansville where we’ll take Rte 441 into Yeehaw Junction for a short break. From Yeehaw Junction it’s Rte 60 to State Route 512 to A1A at Wabasso Beach. Then it’s up A1A over Sebastian Inlet for the Polar Bear Plunge at Juan Ponce De Leon Landing. After our plunge it’s a short trek up A1A to Indialantic Long Dogger’s for lunch. After lunch you can ryde back to Kissimmee or take a more convenient route home.

Wondering what Fun we had last year, check out this short crazy video…
