One way to get substantial exposure to a group of enthusiastic cyclists
is to provide your information to the Florida Freewheelers.

My wife and I live in Daytona Beach and have biked to St. Augustine for
an overnight stay (and returned, obviously) so it's not out of the range
of any serious rider. The FFW may also arrange to have an organized ride
with your event as the destination and turn-around point.
