A group of cyclists who are conducting a relay cycling event from Maine to Key West are set to arrive in the Upper Keys tomorrow on Saturday about noon.
The Pines to Palms group notified the Sheriff’s Office on Friday of their plans. They have been instructed to stay on the bike path/bake lane wherever they can to minimize any impact on traffic. The group consists of 14 disabled, paralyzed, wounded, injured and able-bodied cyclists and volunteers, including military veterans, civilians and supporters. The Sheriff’s Office has been told this is a relay event and not all 14 cyclists will be cycling at one time.
Our deputies have been notified of the event, but Keys residents should be aware of any possible delays due to the cyclists.
