SMART Ride VI (Southern Most AIDS/HIV Ride) takes place from January 7th through the 9th. The SMART Ride is a 2 Day, 165 mile non-competitive bicycle ride from Miami to Key West. 100% of what the participants raise goes to charity, as everyone involved is a volunteer. Since 2003 they have raised and returned more than $1.75 million to their benefiting HIV/AIDS agencies.

Below is a draft of this year’s schedule. I say draft because they always make last minute changes due to police, construction or weather so it is never official until the riders are actually on it
