Join cycling legends Chris Froome, George Hincapie, and Christian Vande Velde on Friday, November 22, 2019! Starting and finishing in Coconut Grove. Riders will be escorted and followed in a closed peloton by police vehicles at a minimum 18 mph pace. If equipment fails the ride does not stop. Our SAG support, provided by Mack Cycle and Fitness, will either provide an alternative top of the line bike and/or make the necessary repair to allow members to rejoin the peloton.
Featuring two fully stocked rest stops, waterfront views, and a ride through some of the most historic and scenic locations in Miami, South Beach and Key Biscayne. The Challenge is open to all ages and abilities and includes professional athletes, high-profile personalities as well as the active participation of athletes with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Once riders return to the finish line, they will be greeted with refreshments, hot showers, professional massages, and lunch.
There’s nothing like the Best Buddies Challenge. Find out for yourself. Sign up as an individual or form a team with friends and together we will help Best Buddies enhance the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
All participants receive a limited edition event jersey, jacket, bibs, gloves and premium gift bag, shower and massage, 1 night stay the St. Regis Hotel in Bal Harbor and admission to the Best Buddies Miami Gala hosted by Anthony Shriver and celebrity guests featuring a gourmet dinner, open bar and private concert.
