"It's really one of the best events out there," said race director Dan Millstead, who is organizing the fifth annual event at Little Everglades. "I've been a bicycling fanatic for years and it's great to have people from that community come out and get together for a fun event on the ranch. It's a great location because it's a nice place for spectators, too."
