The Frank Stark Ride has been a tradition for the last 21 years. It features a scenic ride along the Atlantic coast from Boca Raton to the mansions in Palm Beach. It then crosses over the intracoastal waterway and follows the newly renovated shoreline in West Palm Beach.
- Roads are recently paved and are extra smooth.
- Clearly marked route along scenic A1A.
- Rest stops with lots of food.
- Full SAG Support during the rides.
- Iced towels for all riders.
Who was Frank Stark?
Frank Stark was a member of the Boca Raton Bicycle Club and a former airline
pilot, forced to retire because of quadruple by-pass heart surgery and two heart attacks.
As part of his recovery, Frank took up cycling and celebrated his birthday
by ridinga mile for each year of his age. “It was just me, the bike and the road,” Frank said. “I
wanted to see if I could do it.” Each year a few more friends from the club would join
in and in recent years we have had as many as 700 riders. Frank died of heart failure
