Please join SunCoast Cycling Club as we ride to Bay Pines National Cemetery to honor our veterans. Please wear your military colors or wear Red, White & Blue kits if you have them." (If not, wear your club kit if you have one).

Meet at the WaWa across from Bay Pines National Cemetery (9501 Bay Pines Blvd.) for a departure at 10:15 am. All cyclists will ride through the cemetery in silence, to honor those who have served our country and are no longer with us.

This is a huge event. If you've not done it before, riding through Bay Pines and seeing tens of thousands of American flags planted on every grave is very moving. (There are over 27,000 interments at Bay Pines).

The ride takes less than 30 minutes, and we do a picture at the end. This is the picture from 2016.
