Hundreds of cyclists will pedal from Miami to Key West over two days from Friday, November 19 to Saturday November 20 as part of “The SMART Ride,” an annual fundraiser benefitting Florida HIV/AIDS charitable organizations. Cyclists will pedal 165 miles through South Florida and the Keys, following the scenic Florida Keys Overseas Highway and Heritage Trial routes. Following a private closing ceremony at Key West High School, post-ride celebrations will be held at various LGBTQ venues throughout Saturday afternoon and evening. Since its inception, The SMART Ride has raised more than $12.5 million, with 100% of proceeds going directly to various HIV/AIDS service organizations throughout Florida, including the Keys-based service organization A.H. of Monroe County.
