The first free BID bike tour of Coconut Grove, staying inside the Grove, and much tamer than the Mack ride, is Saturday, January 3 from 9:30 am until noon.
It's theme is "Botanical Wonderland."
From the promo: "Ride through the beautiful tapestry of tropical flora that characterizes The Great Green Grove. As we explore verdant lanes, learn about the area's plant explorers, botanists, and gardening enthusiasts who traveled the world seeking strange and unusual flora to bring back home. See a rare example of the indigenous tropical hardwood forests that once covered the region, with endangered orchids, ferns, and other wildlife at the Barnacle State Historic Site. Your guide will point out exceptional trees, vines, flowers, and palms seen in the neighborhood. Hints on creating and maintaining eco-friendly landscaping will also be shared during the tour."
Meet at the corner of Main Highway and Franklin Avenue around 9:15 am. Bring your own bike, sunblock and water. Advanced registration required here.

Nice, for certain folks. Except these rides and the elderly EBC are just like the Grove: very old. Just watch: the average "cyclist" there is about 60 y/o.
FYI, for younger cyclists, there are rides off South Miami or the Circle every day, no need to belong to any "clubs", all speeds, all distances.
