I just found this information on the Miami Man website. You can pre-ride the bike course on October 18, 25 or November 1. The rides are open to anyone, you don't have to be registered for Miami Man to participate in the ride. I'm going to see if I can get my husband to come along. I couldn't get him interested in signing up for the 1/2 Ironman duathlon at Miami Man this year, but I'm hoping he'll race it with me next year.

Meeting Place : Larry and Penny Thompson Park Site # 2 (Race Transition Area)

All three rides will start at 7:30am sharp. At 7:00 am we will enter the park and proceed towards Site # 2. Please use the main entrance. You’ll see all of our vehicles.
At 7:15am we’ll go over the handouts and head towards the beach. After that we’ll depart out on the bikes and you’ll have the option to do three different distances on the bike. All of these distances are in total miles. First distance will be the Int’l distance which will be about 20 miles, second distance will be about 40 miles (one loop) and the third distance will be the two loop total ride for the ½ Iron distance.
Riders will be doing all three distances so you will not be left behind if you decide to only ride a shorter course. You must be able to ride at least the 20 mile course if you want to join us and have all of the necessary food and equipment for the ride. Everyone is welcome, if you’re in the event or not.
Please also go to www.multirace.com and look at the course map before coming out. After the ride we’ll go for about a two mile run through part of the park. I’ll have Accelerade drinks, gels and some food to give out at all of the rides. I’d like to also make clear that this is an orientation ride and not a training session.
All riders ride at their own risk and you are also responsible for your bicycles and equipment. Look forward to seeing all of you out there !!! Train and Race safe, hard and fast !!!
