Florida's
warm climate and varied scenery have long attracted bicycle tourists.
This book features one circular route and five interconnected cross-Florida
routes covering areas from Pensacola in the panhandle to Key West
in the southeastern part of the state. Route maps and the Useful
Addresses section, including contact information for restaurants,
bicycle repair shops, and supplementary transportation options,
complement the tours. The book also features profiles of bed-and-breakfasts
located along the routes and directions for day tours starting and
ending at the inns.
About
the Author
From
his roots in Missouri to Milwaukee, Louisville, New York and finally
to Miami/Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Dale Lally Jr. has been an avid
bicyclist and a strong member of several bicycling organizations.
As the author of Bed, Breakfast and Bike Mississippi Valley and
after his five years of retirement in Florida this book was natural
for him to write. In Memory of Dale Lally Jr., a wooden marker now
sits on the side of the road on the second curve of L'Alpe d'Huez
in France, marking the spot where Dale died suddenly of a heart
attack in July, 2004, while having the time of his life. He was
doing two things he loved most-cycling and cheering on his favorite
champion Lance Armstrong in the Tour de France.
