Ride Calendar

Join the Spacecoast Freewheelers on one of our B and C rated rides.  Our Saturday morning River Road ride is the most popular, starting with a social C pace for the first half, and a B pace for the rest.  Our longer rides are our B rated Sunday morning ride that changes start location and route every weekend per the calendar below.  Check out our ride calendar below and we hope to see you our riding with us.

Club Rides, Rules & Etiquette

First and foremost, we want to keep our rides safe; so please obey all traffic laws, and ride rules and paceline etiquette. If you are new to our group or unfamiliar with our riding rules and etiquette, please identify yourself to the ride leader.  He/she will provide you with appropriate assistance.

Electric Bikes

Our club exists to promote the general interests of bicycling and to encourage all forms of recreational cycling activities. We welcome e-bike riders who have pedal-assisted electric bikes (Class 1 & Class 3).  See: Florida Dept of Transportation (FDoT) definitions and rules

Road Construction Projects in Brevard County Florida

Our club rides are intended to be safe, so we advise and encourage all riders to avoid state, county and local road construction and maintenance activity. In order to do that you need to know where such activity is. Fortunately, Florida Dept of Transportation (FDOT) hosts a website describing all current and planned projects across our county.

Please review this regularly: FDOT Brevard County Road Construction Projects

Tuesday AM Training @ Cocoa Village Parking Lot
Sep 30 @ 7:30 am

B ride, with some portions at B+ and A- pace. Routes depend on participants & wind/weather conditions. Ride Leader(s) vary.

Meet in Cocoa Village Parking Lot, 98 Stone Street, just north of Cocoa City Hall, and west of Cocoa Village.

Distances range from 45 to 65 miles (75 to 100 km). Plan accordingly with food/hydration. Rides usually break somewhere midpoint for rest/refuel.

Participants should have current SCFW membership, but are welcome to join a ride or two before deciding to join. If necessary, please renew or join the Club.

These are NOT introductory group rides; you should be completely capable and confident riding in a group, with enough endurance to comfortably finish a 3 to 4 hour ride. You should also have no concern about fixing flats, should they happen, and carry the equipment to do so.

That said, these are “no-drop” rides: we don’t leave fellow Freewheelers behind. But you are expected to keep up and contribute to the training effort.
