Anyone in FL, going in November to visit daughter in St Augustine. Planning on renting a bike while there and checking out the area for possible relocation.

Any tips on areas to check out for rides and moving to?

I’ve lived here 30 plus years and currently in Brooksville North of Tampa, great central area and close to anything you’d want.

From out of St Augustine, I would definitely do a run down South A1A towards Flagler. Then Another ride would probably be over to Palatka, and then down some back roads that follow along the St Johns…..

Lived in central FL for a while and stationed in Jacksonville. St..Augustine, FL is a walking destination, rent a bike and ride A1A down to daytona Beach, cut west to Deland on 17-92 ride north to Orange Park on 17. This parallels the St. Johns River, work your way west over to Atlantic Beach, you'll be going east, then A1a south back down to St. Augustine. A1A is running beach front of the Atlantic Ocean which will be on your left going south. Is this a job relocation or just a move?

Relocation for my wife (DOD). We currently live in WA and have had enough of the Governors "emergency" powers. I am a contractor and will continue my business here until I can get established there.

Our daughter is there in St Augustine, married to a Navy guy stationed in Jacksonville.

Cold and wet versus warm and wet with no Jay Inslee is a no brainer.
