This incredible group bikes 950 miles from Miami to Tallahassee in just 15 days, and we're lucky enough to be one of their pit stops! Last week they treated our residents to a BBQ, great conversation, and plenty of laughs.

After biking hundreds of miles, they still had enough energy to hang out with us. We're impressed. πŸ˜‚

Thank you, Gear Up Florida &  The Ability Experience , for your continued friendship and support. Safe travels on the rest of your journey, and we'll see you next year!
