My annual tradition of a winter ride in the sunshine state continues! Unlike past years, I'm shaking things up with the start and focusing on a coastal ride along the East Coast Greenway before turning inland. But the Florida Coast is the name of the game for this adventure, and on this episode we preview the ride! Florida Coast Preview The ride Jacksonville to WDW over 4 days! East Coast Greenway! A ferry! Mostly coastal riding with the ocean over my left shoulder (who knew?) Revisting the Florida Coast to Coast Trail Riding all the way to my finish line resort at WDW (no Lyfts at the end this time!) The gear Brompton 3 days of camping Backpack mode with front pannier (same as last year) Keeping things minimal as the camping gear takes up some room No stove Details JAX-St. Augustine St. Augustine - Daytona Daytona - Lake Monroe Lake Monroe - WDW Highlights Day 1 St. Johns ferry and St Augustine Day 2 All coastal riding to Daytona Day 3 Reuniting with the FLC2C trail and camping at the free Lake Monroe campground Day 4 Eff it we're doing it live! Another thrilling ride into the belly of the beast errr Mouse and then celebrating by flying the Falcon and drinking blue milk and hitting the cantina Potential issues I need this trip more than I've ever needed a bike adventure so there's a lot of mental energy riding on this one… so you just KNOW shit will go sideways! Have not gotten the Brompton checked and likely won't have an opportunity as I have only a day or two in DC before I fly down to JAX. What could possibly go wrong? Tour Journal episodes start… next week, AND this gets us almost all the way to episode 400. Stay tuned for a live show announcement for mid-April!
