From the Organizer
NPC's 22nd Annual Iron Joe Turkey Ride is now Naples' best Sunday-BEFORE-Thanksgiving tradition at the beautiful Eagle Lakes Community Park
Choose from 62, 40, 20, 10, and 5-mile biking routes—plus 2.5 and 5-mile inside-the-park walking options. The 5-miler stays within the park, making it perfect for families with kids. Children under 12 may ride or walk for FREE with a paid adult on the 5 and 10-mile bike routes and walking routes.
Please note that only the 20, 10, and 5-mile routes will be marked. All participants are strongly urged to download the Ride With GPS app on their phone. We are moving away from placing route-marking signs for this and future events, as many are stolen or destroyed at each event.
Fuel for the Ride - Enjoy a light breakfast before you head out and refuel along the way at our conveniently located rest stops.
SAG Support - AAA and local bike shops will provide expert SAG support.
Post-Ride Lunch - When you return, dig into a hearty, delicious catered lunch by Jason's Deli! A beer, lemonade, or water is included with lunch.
Post-Ride Activities—Stay for beer, music, and the chance to win great treasures in our raffle! Tickets are $5 each, or five raffle tickets for $20.
Shirts - The first 300 to register will receive an awesome commemorative shirt included with registration! (We'll try our best to have your preferred size but can't guarantee.) Shirts are NOT included for children who ride free, but they are available for purchase in adult sizes.
Packet Pick-up - will be held at Jason's Deli on Saturday, 11/21, from 11 am to 1 pm, 2700 Immokalee Rd Ste 1, Naples, FL 34110 (near the corner of Airport Rd and Immokalee Rd.)
*Participants riding Class 1 / Pedal-Assist Electric Bikes are welcome.
