Yesterday morning three large packs of riders departed Naples Cyclery and the adjacent
Fit & Fuel Bicycle Cafe on Vanderbilt Beach Road in Naples.
Those choosing the longest ride rode the 50 miles
to Fort Myers Beach and back.
Here they come!
All proceeds from the event benefit Youth Haven, serving at risk children.

Go, Huskies!
Lots of energetic cyclists in your photo.
ReplyDeleteThat is around 80 km. A bit longer than I usually ride per day!
ReplyDeletei love these! And I know that sooner or later the weather will turn nice enough around here that even I can don shorts and short sleeves for a 50-Miler.
ReplyDeleteThey look so organized.
ReplyDeleteTheir energy tires me after a 2 hour night...
ReplyDeleteWay to get out in front of the pack for a nice group shot. Nice capture. I will concur with your 'Go, Huskies!' (for tonight only).
ReplyDeleteDrug free I hope
ReplyDeleteAh, I'm already worn out just looking at your pic for the day, Jack! But good for them!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a rather large group did the 50 mile ride! Good for them. If I had done that, I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to stand this morning.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, I won't last 5 miles...
ReplyDelete...and they have got sunshine. I haven't seen blue sky for over a week now :). Super shot!
ReplyDeleteReally a beautiful photo, Jack, not easy in those situations!
ReplyDeleteA perfect catch, Jack! What a huge number of riders there were.
ReplyDeletewhat a great cause! good luck riders!
ReplyDeleteYou must have been the first one finished to be able to jump off your bike and take this shot.
ReplyDeleteLove the composition with the bikes leading the eye off in the distance!
What an orderly queue of bikes. You'd better get over here in July to take pics of the Tour de France Yorkshire stage. I don't think it'll look so neat and tidy.
ReplyDeleteExcellent shot!
ReplyDeleteThey'll have gotten through that day and feel exhausted, for sure.
You caught the eye of a couple of those front riders.
ReplyDeleteI like bicycle races - the energy as they go past is palpable. Our "Tour de Dung" goes right in front of our house and it's fun to watch them whiz by and try to catch some of the action.
Biking for a good cause. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat really is a large group.
ReplyDeleteI admire them. The last time I rode a bicycle I needed a cortisone shot in my knee and gave the ^%#&%^& thing to my son.
ReplyDeleteThey do look super fit, bet that 50 miles was easy peasy to them :) tres jolie incoming shot Jack :)
ReplyDeleteAh... the joy of pedaling down in a group (and there is always the chance of winning)
ReplyDeleteYou chose the perfect spot to take this photo from. Excellent!
ReplyDeletethats quite a bit of biking!!
