Pedalshift Live: Cross-Florida Bike Tour Takeaways
Tampa, FL to Cocoa Beach, FL
Check out the full route at Ride with GPS
- Florida is a good bike touring state (trails are intriguing but roads were pretty good!)
- Three days across Central Florida is about right but you could do it in two
- The rural parts were the best even though there were no shoulders
- Use sunscreen and cover up
- I get the no-camping tour thing
- February in Florida is an antidote to winter
- You will never be lonely riding a Brompton
- I ride better with minimal breaks
- A dose of nostalgia is a good thing
- If you want to preserve memories on tour - shoot a lot of video... take a lot of pictures... maybe even record your thoughts. But stay in the moment.
- Huge shouts to the meetup folks! Greg, Kenny and our boy Big Rick at the bar.
