Van fleet is nice. Florida for biking? Not so nice. Lots of traffic, lots of tourists, that are lost and/or not paying attention.

I ride outside only on Saturday mornings. All other rides on done indoors using FulGaz.

Be careful

I’ve ridden Van Fleet in the past. Had to drive from champions gate. I would say it’s okay. Flat and straight. Not exciting plus there were a few sandy sections. But no traffic worries.

I’ve also tried to take 27 from Champions Gate to get up to Clermont. There is a bike lane so thought it would be fine but lots of traffic and there are a ridiculous number of traffic lights.

Agreed that road riding is hard in Florida. Few drivers are paying attention for bikes. I’d suggest driving to your location. I’m just north of Tampa so not sure how far you’d drive but there are some really nice paved trails around this area. Suncoast Parkway, Flatwoods Park, Withlacochee River Trail. Let me know if you’d like more on these or to meet up sometime.

Have you checked out AllTrails and TrailForks? I see there is the Cross Seminole Trail around that general area. Also, there are some rails to trails paved paths, too, over toward Daytona I believe as well.

You might not be looking for races yet but there is a Gran Fondo in San Antonio, FL 3 weeks from today that should be really nice.

Good luck and stay safe!
