while you are on the East side of the state keep an eye out for a shuttle launch. If you can be there for one, it is an awesome sight you won't soon forget.

how bout the ringling museum/property in sarasota?

plenty of things to do in the keys not bike related. the "duval crawl" is an institution.

be sure to take the tamiami trail over from the west coast, plenty o gators and also smallest post office.
headin back north on the east coast, might want to check out "indian river drive" from jensen beach to port saint lucie - simply spectacular!
u can see our florida gang's posts and pics from all our rides throughout this state in members mtg members section.

RE: Riding in FL?

You should checkout and stay the night at fishermans village in Punta Gorda. Nice mix of upscale and regular stuff. Right on the water with multiple bars, shopsand restaurants right in the complex. Safe and secure, well worth stopping at.
