From the Back Cover

Road Biking™ Florida features forty-two carefully designed rides throughout the state, from Navarre Beach, Okefenokee, and Atlantic Beach in the north to Lake Okeechobee, the Everglades, and the Keys in the south, and Tampa Bay and the Cape Canaveral seashore in between. Highlighting not only the unique features of the road but also the people, the ecology, and the history of the areas covered, local cyclist Rick Sapp provides a sampling of Florida’s diverse offerings. Enjoy halcyon rides under hammocks of oak draped with Spanish moss as well as edgy rides so uptown that your eyes may blur at the endless series of stops and turns.
