Pedal/Paddle Challenge
A Family Event for All Ages!        

        The Pedal Paddle Challenge is being produced by the Yellow Bellied Sliders Bicycling Society and includes a full day of activities for all ages. Participants will bike their way through the River Rise State Preserve and O’Leno State Park, and paddle the Sante Fe River upstream to River Rise Resort in order to complete the entire course.
A specially marked “Family Route” will be available for all ages.
Food and entertainment will also be provided to Challenge participants. The Pedal Paddle Challenge will test participants’ bike handling skills and endurance on trails through swamp land, sandy uplands and hills. Sag or bail out points will be available through the course.
