The 28th Annual
Florida Tour de Force Bicycle Ride
April 8th, 2024 thru April 12th, 2024

The 2024 Florida Tour de Force charity bicycle ride is set to kick off April 8th, 2024 in North Miami Beach, FL and end in Daytona Beach Shores, FL on April 12th, 2024. The Tour is a 5-day ride that averages approximately 50-55 miles each day at a moderate pace (15-17 mph) and will pass through 8 counties including over 40 law enforcement jurisdictions.

The tour is a fully supported ride with police escorts provided by the Florida Highway Patrol, Sheriff’s Departments and local Law Enforcement Agencies throughout the state. This is an awareness ride, not a race! Breaks are scheduled approximately every 12-15 miles and the ride is designed to accommodate both inexperienced riders and seasoned cyclists. Every year hundreds of law enforcement personnel and civilians from across the state, country, and even from around the world participate with over 100 riders completing the entire 270+ mile trek each year.

The inaugural 1997 Tour was dedicated to Trooper Robert Smith who was killed in the line of duty by a drunk driver. The Tour has grown in size each year and we are proud to say that as a non-profit charity organization, all of our support staff are dedicated volunteers from the Law Enforcement Community who donate their time to help with this cause.

This year’s tour will benefit the families of all fallen Florida Law Enforcement Officers that were lost in the line of duty during 2023. Citizens, sponsors, media and various Law Enforcement Agencies throughout the state have supported the ride over the past twenty-five years with great enthusiasm. The culmination of our efforts concludes when we attend the Florida Law Enforcement Officer’s Memorial in Tallahassee, FL each year and present checks and ride memorabilia to the surviving family members of our Fallen Heroes.

Please help support the 2024 ride by providing riders, escorts or traffic details as the riders make their way through the state. If you are interested in riding in the tour, please register at our Registration page, or if you just want to donate please go to our Donate page.
