The Southern Most AIDS/HIV Ride Twenty-Eleven (SMART) Ride
Register today and join hundreds of others in the fight against AIDS.
2 days, 165 miles, from Miami to Key West. 100% to Charity.
Help our friend and fellow cyclist Larry Mailloux raise money for AIDs/HIV services in Florida by donating under his rider number 267. Larry is riding for the second year in SMART Ride, the southern most charity bike ride that raises money for HIV/AIDs. Unlike many charity rides 100% of the proceeds go directly to a select number of local charities. Last year he kicked ass for 165 miles, from Miami to Key West, on a mountain bike but this year he has graduated to his newly recovered fixie (it was stolen and then found on Craig’s list by a loyal friend). Thanks in advance for supported a fellow Miami rider!
To pledge go to this link and enter his last name and rider number (267)

Miami Critical Mass Costume Rides
MTB Rad Race
“Mack Cycle’s MTB Rad Race is very similar to a type of mountain bike racing called 4x or mountain cross. 4 or more racers start the race together and compete on a wide, short and fast track. The race track more closely resembles moto-cross or BMX. The kickass track is designed for speed with jumps, banked turns and big drops! Winners of each heat qualify for the finals, held on the same day.
Racers must compete in all three races to qualify for the cash prize championship! The point based system will be explained by “Frenchie” at the Ocober 30 Rad Race! Riders must compete on mountain bikes. No BMX or hybrids allowed.
First heat starts at 8AM sharp. Top finishers of each heat advance to the next round. Spectators are welcomed. Riders are welcomed to bring 10×10 pop-up tents. There are no bathrooms, water or food at the location, so come prepared!”

Ride The Divide
RIDE THE DIVIDE,
AWARD-WINNING DOCUMENTARY FILM,
COMING TO MIAMI APRIL 27
Ride The Divide, the award-winning feature-length documentary about the world’s toughest mountain bike race, will descend on South Florida for two shows at the O-Cinema in Miami on the night of Wednesday, April 27. The event will be a fundraiser for the Virginia Key Bicycle Club.
The film chronicles the story of several mountain bikers who attempt the 2,711-mile race named the Tour Divide along the Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains. The movie was named the best adventure film at the 2010 Vail Film Festival.
This film has become an instant cycling classic, and made its television premiere in September on the Documentary Channel. But the Adventure Cycling Association said the film should be seen on the big screen: “The cinematography is stunning!” Added UpaDowna, “Ride The Divide is one of the most inspiring real cycling movies … in a long time.” Epic Riding summed the movie up as follows: “In a word? Fantastic. In more words? Moving, funny, inspiring.”
Ride The Divide embraces the inspiring stories of three of the racers who experience the immense mountain beauty and small-town culture as they attempt to pedal from Banff, Canada, to a small, dusty crossing on the Mexican border. There’s Mike, a 40-year-old family man who uses this challenge to chart a new course in life; Matthew, a leader in extreme endurance racing who’s competing for his fifth time; and Mary, the first female rider to race this route. As they set out, they will attempt to accomplish what very few have been able to. Over the course of a few weeks, they’ll attempt to climb over 200,000 vertical feet along the backbone of the Rocky Mountains.
They’ll experience mental breakdowns, treacherous snow, hellacious blisters, and total fatigue. Above all, they’ll race with no support – at times in total isolation. The tests of endurance and the accomplished moments throughout Ride the Divide prompt us to reflect on our inner desires to live life to the fullest.
Ride The Divide made its debut at the Vail Film Festival and was named the best adventure film at the event. Outside Magazine proclaimed that “(t)he toughest bike race in the world is not in France,” after reviewing the film.
Ride The Divide will be shown at 7 and 9 p.m. at the O-Cinema, located at 90 NW 29th St. in Miami. Tickets are $15 at the door, and $10 in advance at www.IMAthlete.com/Events/RideTheDividemovie. Macy Cycles of Miami is the presenting sponsor of this event.
