Riding when you least expect it

Oct 29/15  When we settle somewhere for a week or two that hasn't been a place to go on our biking list we use our technology to find out if there are any routes in the area.   Oddly enough in Webster, Florida there are several!!!  That is a pleasant surprise to us.  The I Tune app we use is "Best Biking Roads".   You just hit the button for "Browse Routes", "Routes Near Me"  and voila up comes a map with red lines signifying runs bikers have made.

Today we are heading out on the "Gobbler Run".   Hmmmm, will we see turkeys?   Well we did not see turkeys but we did see cows, a snake crossing our road and an armadillo. 
looks like a paved country lane
Rosey is not particularly fond of snakes so Billy did not stop to get a better look:(  The roads were small back roads through ranches and along some water ways giving it lots of curves.
Must have been many bikers racing through the area at one time,,,, Not anymore.
Looks like the neighbourhood and police are trying to slow the much used biker road down,,,,, lots of sharp turns and at each one there is are 3 signs registering your speed and flashing to slow down. 
All decked out
At the end of the run you pop out in Floral City where you can get yourself a fancy red airboat or a burger and beer at the local biker bar.
