Daytona Ride Routes
Going to Daytona bike week in less than three weeks and am really excited. I know about The Loop in Ormond Beach, but does anyone know of any other nice ride routes? I don't really like all the bumper to bumper crap and want to spend the day riding and only go to the crowds at night. I know some of the local dealers have nice ride maps and was planning in checking them out but thought I would ask here as well.

There a site motorcycleroads.com that lets you plug in your city and gives you routes that others have posted. You can post your own routes as well to share with others.
One other thing that is cool, is if you wake up early you can see the sunrise over the ocean on the beach. Then take your time and ride West to Cedar Key which is west side of Florida. You can then see the sun set, all in one day. Kinda a romantic thing if your with your girl. Cool in any event to be able to do this in one days riding. Half way across you'll be passing through ocala and there are some great horse country routes you can enjoy getting lost on.

A!A North to St. Augustine. Spend the day in the nations oldest city. SR-40 West to Silver Springs/Ocala, or on to Cedar Key. US-1North past the White Eagle to CR-304 West to CR-305 West to US-17 North into Crescent City & find Three Bananas for lunch. SR-40 West to Fairview SW to US-19 South through Tavares to Lane Park
Rd. & the Hideaway on Lake Harris, again for lunch.
There's others, but it'd take all day. Google Earth, Mapsource (or any good map program), will show you lots of places.

Out 40(granado in ormond) you'll have plenty of open road and places to stop galore once you get into the smaller towns.
Go down US1 to new smyrna. Same thing, open in between but plenty of biker spots.
Up A1A towards Flagler to do the Loop or continue to St. Augustine. Plenty of ocean places to stop for a drink.

Thanks to all. Like the idea of riding through the state forest. Not sure if I can get her up to watch the sunrise, but seeing it set would be cool.

Ponce Inlet is another thing you'll want to ride down to. It's the south end of A1A in daytona. Good places to eat down there.

We ate at a place down there last year close to the lighthouse that had awesome buffalo shrimp
I'll be down there as well, and I'm looking for the same type of info.
I've ridden the ormond loop and A1A up to Saint Augustine.
Sorry for the Hijack, but any info on "can't miss" roads in Ocala national forest?
Anyone ridden through the Merritt Island national wildlife refuge?
