I am a triathlete and in the heat of training for an Olympic Distance race on Aug. 20th in Vermont. My family and I will be on vacation in Singer Island from Aug. 1-8. Just wondering if you could tell me about any decent riding routes to take or if there are group rides in the area. Any info would be great. Thanks so much!
