Today's ride

**coacha** · 02-08-2009, 07:07 PM

Went out on a 200+ mile ride today with the Mrs. Started with some of our favorite local roads then ventured over toward the center of the state (through Bevilles Corner, Webster and Center Hill) and our version of a mountain, Sugarloaf Mountain. It is the highest point in the sate, near Mount Verde, FL. The road looks down on Lake Apopka to the east and is a wonderful view. From there we went through Winter Garden then up through Apopka, then over to Umatilla and some back roads back to Crystal River.

We got in some twisties and some elevation changes during the ride. It was a lovely 68-72 during the ride and nice to get out for a long ride.

For all of my snowbound friends, I ride for you, ;). If I can ever figure out how to use Google maps to get the route, I will post it here.
