Cycling in the news in West Florida

I heard through a Facebook friend of a group that rides around San Antonio, Fl.  It is a large group that made the news for having some rowdy riders.  TBO.com has the article.

Looking at a blog called Simon Says Cycling the group can pull 50 -100 cyclists on a Sunday. The ride is said to be very competitive.

The 2012 Horrible Hundred will be held on November 18th.
Join the Florida Freewheelers in celebrating one of Florida's oldest continuous rides, the 33rd Horrible Hundred.

Will you survive? This event features course options of 35, 70 and 100 miles. Enjoy quiet country roads and true Southern hospitality while tackling Central Florida's "mountains". Dance on the tips of your pedals up "Sugarloaf". Swoop through the descents on "Buckhill". Suffer the dead-start ascent of "Grassy Lake". But first you've gotta hit "The Wall". Century riders will confront all seven of Central Florida's mountains.

Registration will open in mid August at www.horrible-hundred.com.
