Book With Rita

What started as a celebration of milestone birthdays became a journey that changed me forever.

If someone had told me a year ago that I would ride my bicycle 230 miles across the state of Florida—from the Atlantic Ocean in Titusville to the Gulf of Mexico on Clearwater Beach—I never would have believed them.

There were moments that challenged me, moments that inspired me, and moments that reminded me just how much we're capable of when we keep moving forward.

Crossing that finish line wasn't just about the miles. It was about courage, determination, friendship, perseverance, and believing in myself. It was about celebrating life in the most unforgettable way.

Today, my heart is overflowing with gratitude, pride, and joy. I can proudly say, I DID THAT. WE DID THAT. ❤️🚴‍♀️

June 2026 will forever be etched in my heart. The miles will fade, but the memories, the laughter, the tears, and the incredible person who shared this adventure will stay with me always.

Sometimes the greatest celebrations aren't parties—they're the moments that prove to yourself that you're stronger than you ever imagined.

I'm excited to share that we just completed our first Florida Coast-to-Coast Bicycle Ride—covering an incredible 230 miles!

Our journey began at the Titusville Welcome Center on June 5 and ended at Pier 60 on June 10. What an unforgettable adventure it was.🤩

With perfect weather everyday. We pedaled from sunrise to sunset most days, making our way across Florida one mile at a time before checking into a hotel each evening.🚲🌅

Along the route, we discovered amazing places, landmarks, great people and enjoyed beautiful scenery, and encountered some incredible wildlife on the trails.🐍🐊🐐🦃🦝🐢🦌

The experience challenged us, inspired us, and gave us memories that will last a lifetime. Every mile was worth it, and crossing the finish line at Pier 60 was an amazing feeling. 🤗

Without a doubt, this was one of the best experiences we've ever had. Cheers to new adventures and many more miles ahead!🗺️

Excited to finally share a few photos from our adventure — and believe me, I have a lot more! 😄🚴📸
