DESTINATIONS

Colorful Key West is one of America's true architectural and botanical treasures. On even the tiniest lanes, the locals have faithfully restored old wooden homes and adorned them with lush tropical trees and flowers. New restaurants and stores are popping up in the historic Bahama Village neighborhood, which was settled in the 19th Century by Bahamian immigrants. Hemingway loved coming here to mix with the hard-working locals at boxing matches and arm-wrestling contests.

The islands seafaring tradition lives on at the renovated Historic Seaport district, known locally as the Key West Bight. Dozens of shrimp boats once called this harbor home. These days, "the Bight" is a popular place to arrange a day on the water, whether you are a diver, snorkler, fisherman or eco-tourist. Others come just to stroll along the harbor walk or dine at one of the many restaurants.

With these three simple things, a dream, a vision, an idea a small group of friends and acquaintances met and created what is now the SMART Ride. In its first year, more than 200 people joined in traveling more than 165 miles over two days from Miami to Key West. Now years later, we have grown in numbers and revenue that we had never expected with more than 500 participants. The ride is fully supported and welcomes participants with all degrees of experience. It is NOT a race, it is a ride, so if someone gets tired, or feels they "just can't go on", we have SAG (support vehicles) that assist them and get them and their bicycles to safety.
Tour elegant and unique homes of Key West. Proceeds help benefit the Old Island Restoration Foundation.
