The Tourist Development Council is reviewing a funding agreement for an event called "The Joy Ride." This is a two-day, 165-mile cycling event planned for November 20-21, 2026. The route will include an overnight stay in Pasco County, with about 150 cyclists expected. The event organizers, FAB Adventures, Inc., are seeking up to $1,740.00 in funding, with payment based on actual room nights booked in Pasco County hotels. This item is currently under review by the Tourist Development Council. The project involves event planning and coordination, including tracking hotel stays and submitting post-event reports. Local businesses in the hospitality sector, such as hotels and restaurants, may see increased activity. Suppliers of event-related goods and services could also find opportunities. Reaching out to FAB Adventures, Inc. or the Pasco County Destination Management Organization early could provide insight into specific needs before final plans are set.
