Home - Capital City Cyclists

Welcome to Capital City Cyclists, a recreational bike club and 501(c)3 non-profit bicycle advocacy organization for the Florida Capital region.

CCC rides are open to anyone with an interest in group riding regardless of previous riding experience, however, our expectation is that new riders will celebrate their interest in cycling by joining CCC as a member. People who are new to group riding or new to the area are encouraged to come ride with us. However, the skill level required for our rides varies from ride to ride. Please read the ride descriptions carefully and make sure that the posted speeds and distances are within your abilities. If in doubt, please contact the ride leader. If you are brand new to group riding, consider joining us for our monthly 10-10-10 Ride held on the first Saturday of each month.

The 40th Spaghetti 100 will be Oct 25, 2025.

Wow, that was great, guys. Thank you so much for your participation and for once again indulging me in my delusions of grandeur.

It's hoped that you all got a mental and physical boost from yer exertions and had a bit of, well, "fun". Be proud of your accomplishments because you guys worked really hard out there. Oh, and allow me to delude myself that this short series will give a boost to those who'll ride the Senior Games in the next 2 weeks. To the results:

A big shout-out goes to Dana, "Mr. I'm-still-here-dammit", Stetson for carving a whopping 1:17 off of last week's time. Way to go, Sir!

He is followed by his fierce competitor William "The other Wolfe", Wolfe who knocked this week's time down by 24 seconds. A fine job, I think.

Make note, please, of Michelle, "The Lioness", Crouse's time. While this is her first participation since Spring '24, she bettered her best previous time by 1:13. Not too shabby. eh?

Then, how about the current National Women's Masters Road Champion Joanna Southerland's time? This was her 1st participation and she turned in a time better than two "veterans". You go, Lady!

All other times were very close to last week's performances as you guys continue to show grit and determination. Oh yeah, there's that "suffering thing", too.

Bushels of thanks to Jill Murphy, Brian Fairhurst and Michelle's daughter (...I forgot her name. Apologies.) for coming out to spectate and assist. Your participation was most valued. Please come back again. (...oh, and the pylon survived, again!)

An April series is "in-the-works" and I will get info out to you sometime in March.

Staying with the Group

Here are some tips to avoid getting separated, and dealing with it if you do . . .

Before coming out, check the posted pace in the ride description on the event calendar and make sure it is comfortable for you. If the ride is clearly beyond your comfort level, it is probably best to skip it and find another ride. On the other hand, if you think the pace will be challenging, but probably doable, come on out. But make sure that you tell the ride leader(s) at the ride start that you may struggle to keep up. All of our ride leaders are ok with that. If they know you are trying to keep up they will make sure that the riders regroups at key turns and that you staying with the group.

Make sure you know the route, or at least know how to find it using your phone. We post RWGPS route links in the description for each of our rides. Assuming you have installed the free RWGPS app on your phone, you can click on the RWGPS ride link in any ride description and the route map will come up on your phone. CCC members can sign up for free access to the RWGPS CCC club account at https://ridewithgps.com/organizations/93-capital-city-cyclists. If you prefer paper cue sheets they can generated from the RWGPS website. If you have any questions about using the CCC routes or the CCC RWGPS club account, please contact Hugh Aaron, Ride Director. He will be happy to help you.

If you get separated from the group, stop and call and/or text the ride leader(s). The ride leaders cell numbers are typically posted in the ride description on the CCC website. While most people don’t look at or answer their phone when riding, if the ride leader(s) finds that you are no longer with the group, he or she may check their phone to see if you have called or texted.
