I read it was 318 miles with 11 turns.
Where exactly is this road? I'd like to ride this trail.

I thought it was Co Rd 74 (Bermont Rd) that runs from Punta Gorda to Hwy 29. I could be wrong though.

Don't know about the Florida Dragon but there is a Florida Tail. Tail of the Gecko.

Shell Point to Spring Creek across Oyster Bay.
Miss a gate and it's knock your prop right off.

A decent twisty road heads west out of of the (west coast) town of Crystal River. County Road #494, named W. Ozella Trail, is a nice scenic run through the swamps.

Usually some group of folks during the Ocala rally head that way.

Also there are portions of the Daytona "Loop" which have some nice swags through some low-land. Look for a left turn onto High Bridge Road when you head north out of Daytona along A1A to find the best part of this "loop".

I'm sure there are other nice pieces of roadway to consider, but these are the ones I fondly remember.

I thought it was the mile from my community's gatehouse, to my house. But watch the curves, they added rubber speed bumps at each one to make it more challenging.
