Many have dreamed of seeing Florida at a slower pace than through the
windshield of a car whizzing along the interstate, and yet few have done
so. Road Biking Florida provides an exquisite tour of the Sunshine
State, offering bike routes for every taste and moment. Each
ride--whether along highways or quiet rural lanes, from short 25-mile
rambles to 100-mile classics--has been ridden and reviewed personally by
local author Rick Sapp. He highlights not only the unique features of
the road but also the people, the ecology, and the history of the areas
covered. The author's passion truly brings alive those halcyon rides
under hammocks of oak draped with Spanish moss, past whitetail deer
munching on acorns, along stretches of white sand beaches, and through
wide expanses of the Everglades and swamp.
