The following is an adapted press release from the Flagler County Sheriff's Office: 

Motorists traveling on Flagler County roadways this weekend are urged to exercise additional care and caution as the North Florida Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society hosts its 27th-annual Bike MS PGA Tour Cycle to the Shore event.

More than 2,500 cyclists are expected to participate in the two-day ride that kicks off at 7 a.m. Saturday in St. Johns County, and makes its way through Flagler County and into Volusia County, stopping overnight in Daytona Beach.

On Sunday morning, riders will climb back on their cycles and will follow a similar route back to St. Johns County. Riders will enter Flagler County on A1A at Marineland. They will travel south on A1A to State Road 100 and then head west to John Anderson Boulevard and then south on John Anderson Boulevard into Volusia County.

Riders on Saturday will have an opportunity to take a break at two planned rest areas in the county: Bings Landing, on A1A, or Wadsworth Park, on State Road 100, in Flagler Beach.

On Sunday morning, riders will leave Daytona Beach at 7 a.m.to begin their return ride to St.
Johns County. Riders will enter Flagler County on John Anderson Boulevard at the Volusia County line and will travel north and then east on State Road 100 to A1A and then north on A1A back into St. Johns County.

The Farmers Market in Flagler Beach and the Hammock Community Center on Malacompra Road in the Hammock will serve as rest stops for riders on Sunday.

No road closures are planned for any of Flagler County roadways on either day, although temporary delays may be experienced due to increased cycling traffic along the roadways.
