WE ARE BACK !
It has been 5 years since we have been to Sebring for our Annual Sebring Tandem Rally after closing in 2021 due to concerns over Covid. This year our focus will be on routes with a special emphasis on good food. There will be an ‘Ice Cream Social’ on Friday evening with all of your favorite sprinkles, an ‘All you care to eat Buffet’ breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings, a ‘Lunch Buffet’ on Saturday, a ‘Before Banquet’ spread of vegetable/dip and cheese/crackers display. Then you will walk through a Saturday evening ‘Banquet Buffet’ with chocolate cake as a dessert.
Join your tandem friends at the Seven Hotel adjacent to the Sebring International Raceway Friday, Saturday and Sunday for 3 days of riding through the orange groves and low traffic countryside in Sebring, Florida. We have a $115 room rate this year, plus tax, which is $5 below the $120 per night we paid in 2020. These rooms will go quickly, so make your reservations now. Please mention the PANTHERS Tandem Club or Sebring Tandem Rally for this room rate. You must contact them by phone for our discounted rate at (863) 655-7200. For additional questions visit their website at Seven Hotel.
As we have planned for the past 10 Rallies in Sebring, once you arrive you will not have to travel by auto to remote locations. The ice cream social, the lunch on Saturday and the Saturday evening banquet will all be held at the excellent accommodations in the Seven Hotel.
Make plans now to attend the first tandem rally of the New Year. We are now visiting new roads to be part of our rides on Saturday, more information as to ride distances and registration will soon be available in early January 2026.
ADDITIONS:
Our rally list started in 2009 with the 31st Annual Southern Tandem Rally with 110 teams attending, representing twenty-six (26) states…we noted that 75 teams were from Florida. We quick realized that teams in central and south Florida had to travel longer distances just to attend a rally, so we quickly organized the PANTHERS Tandem Club receiving our charter in January 2010.
We went to work and organized the fall edition of the Florida Tandem Rally the third weekend in October 2010, located in The Villages, FL. A second spring rally was added in 2011 in Sebring, FL., usually the first and last rallies of the year.
As we review the number of tandem rallies available for 2026, we find that some of our favorites of the past are no longer on the list. The Board of the PANTHERS Tandem Club is committed to continue our spring and fall rallies; and we will honor this commitment in the future as long as we have sufficient support from our membership and invited teams.
So we ask that you support the PANTHERS with your membership and attend our rallies so that we all can continue socializing and riding with our friends.
