Looking for a winter cycling vacation?


This note from Puerto Rico RBA William Medina arrived in my e-mailbox today. Looks like fun....

On January 24-27, 2008, San Juan Cycling Club will be presenting the recreational, non-competitive cyclist with a three day cycling event known as the Lighthouse Cycling Tour (3 days, 375 miles, 9 historical lighthouses). As the name suggests, for three days, we will be cycling around the island of Puerto Rico highlighting nine lighthouses strategically located around the coast.

We will be showcasing the foothills of the El Yunque Rain Forest, marinas, quiet nestled towns such as Naguabo, Yabucoa and Maunabo, a night stay over Ponce, the second largest city of Puerto Rico, the plains of Lajas and another night stay over in Rincon packed with its world class surfing beaches. In the north coast Jobos, Puerto Nuevo and other beaches, rivers, karst formations and the historical stone paved streets of Old San Juan will serve as a closing reminder of what a beautiful island we have.

The purpose of this note is to invite you to visit the Lighthouse Cycling Tour website where you will find all the information you need to come visit us in January. By the way, January can't be a better time to visit our island since we expect great weather, sunny days and a hospitable crowd of local cyclist looking forward to sharing three days of pure cycling with you all. So, take a glance at your calendar, and start making arrangements to spend a few days with us. This tour is a great way to see the island on a bike while the rest of your family can choose to follow us around or better yet, relax in the next hotel while we ride in. Don't forget to leave behind your warmers and all the foul weather gear while packing your jersey with suntan lotion and a camera. We guarantee you will leave our island with lifetime memories.

Hope to see you all ...
