    Bike Ride review entertainment

    Yohandy De La Cruz and El Fish and Eddy did a wonderful job. This was fun and we rode around for quite a bit and saw the property we would never have seen. We fed the turtles which was really fun. We rode to the beach and stopped and had drinks and celebrated!! Would highly recommend!
