Ride for Autism Awareness with the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue. Join the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue for their 5th annual Autism Awareness Bike Ride on Saturday, April 13. This community event offers a chance to raise awareness and support for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Choose your challenge. The ride features two scenic routes:
- 12-mile Leisure Route: This relaxed route, perfect for families and casual riders, explores Doral at a comfortable pace of 12-17 mph. (Age 18+)
- 40-mile Experienced Route: For seasoned cyclists seeking a longer journey, this route travels throughout Miami-Dade County at a pace of 18-20 mph. (No stops included, so come prepared!)
Be sure to arrive early for check-in, which begins at 6:00 a.m. The rides will then kick off with the Long Route starting at 7:15 a.m., followed by the Short Route at 7:30 a.m.
While the main event caters to cyclists, the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue is also hosting a Kidz Bike Safety Rodeo and FUN Ride (ages 5 & over) inside the MDFR Training Facility starting at 10:00 a.m. The ride will be divided by age groups for a safe and enjoyable experience.
Whether you participate as a rider or a spectator, there's something for everyone. Following the rides, enjoy delicious food and dessert vendors, engage with sponsors and resource providers and celebrate a meaningful cause with the community.
