Donut Ride
Sunday, January 4, 2026 • 7:30 AM
Overview
Hello friends!
WW Ranch Rd in Sebastian is closed until summer due to resurfacing, and it is not possible to reach the dam from the southern entrance. Thus, we will change our traditional route a bit.
We'll meet at Thomas O Lawton Conservation Area / Three Forks Marsh, W. Malabar Rd. Melbourne at 7:30 am and head out on a gravel adventure! We will have several locations on our route to refuel.
If we have enough people for Group A, they'll blaze ahead at their own pace. Otherwise, we'll ride social first half, and then it's free rein for the second half - full gas or chill vibes as a group, your call!
If we get enough interest, we'll also have a second departure from Indian River County - stay tuned for details!
