PREPARING FOR YOUR ADVENTURE

So you’re gearing up for your first ride with us? Trust us, you’re in for a real treat! But before you jump on board, let’s talk about outfit choices. You’ll want to stick with light-colored clothing. Why? Because lighter hues are your best friends under the Florida sun, reflecting those pesky UV rays and keeping heat exhaustion at bay.

And let’s not forget the headgear! A wide-brimmed hat isn’t just a fashion statement; it’s your personal shade provider. It’ll shield your face, neck, and maybe even your shoulders from the sun. While at it, grab some sunglasses that offer UV rays protection—your eyes will thank you.
