The route will progress south down the center of Amelia Island until it meets Amelia Parkway, a beautiful oak tree canopied road that will wind the riders through American Beach and then into Amelia Island Plantation. Riders will be in for a treat with over 3.5 miles of paved riding within the Plantation.

For 60km and 100km

The route will then turn due south and cross from Amelia Island over to Big Talbot Island and on to Little Talbot Island. Katie cyclists will then have an opportunity to ride a new paved "bicycle only" trail that has just been completed within Little Talbot State Park. Proceeding further south, the ride will have spectacular views of the ocean on one side and the marsh on the other until the riders reach the Ribault Club on Fort George Island. The Club will have a special water stop and riders may view the restoration of this 1928 private club nestled some two miles into the island. The ride will then return north along the coastline and back to the Start/Finish for lunch, music and fun!
