Select participants and date
The ride begins where water leans into the city: a white tent on the bridge over Condado Lagoon, Ashford Avenue humming behind you and the Atlantic breathing on the horizon. Guides fit you to a priority comfort bike — big saddle, upright bars, light frame — and within minutes the urban coastline has a new cadence, Pedals click, tires hum on asphalt, and the city reveals itself in short chapters: lagoons, low-rise hotels, a narrow bridge that tips you toward history.
