The way points of this bicycle route:
You can go straight over to Park or swing around the Sports Authority parking lot. Early in the am there is little traffic in the lot and it is safe.
WAtch our for a bike eating storm drain in the Allsports parking lot. It will swallow your tire and you
Good long run along Park, traffic early is not bad and most people are pretty attentive. Watch for glass on road.
If you have fat tires you can go back to the east here along Heritage Park Drive and get to the undeveloped lake trails east of here.
If risk averse you can take the sidewalks along Conner here, there are only a few intersections. Generally traffic is ok in the road and the surface is smooth.
Early in the am I have seen deer here and they don't make good handlebar ornaments.
End of the T Brown path, if you go out onto Weems and turn left go up to the Armory and you can then reverse course and go on the road back through Tom Brown to avoid a complete repitition.
Begin watching for geese on the path.
Watch for the geese, they can be a hazard. Make them pay attention or your goose is cooked.
Nice smooth paved trail on the east side and good sidewalk on the west with no entrances. Or, ride the road if the traffic is low.
Everyone here seems to drive with a wheel in the bike lane. The sidewalk on the southside of the road is safer.
rain washes sand onto the paved surface and after a big rain it can be thick.
Jump the center lane here and you can get back on the asphalt bike path which avoids the Blairstone traffic if you are risk averse.
Water fountain that works just past the Mahan-Blairstone intersection. The one near the entrance to FDLE does not work.
You can cross the traffic at the Publix exit, get into the center median and wait for the traffic to clear then take the sidewalk back along Park if you want to avoid the Park traffic which can be bad coming into town around 8 or at 5 in the afternoon.
After rain this can be a bit slick and you can top 28 mph here if you are not careful and there is an abrupt right turn at the bottom of the hill. Kids sometimes waiting for the bus here so watch for them early in the am.
Like a giant L from Seminole to Gov. Mall east on Park to Conner to the intersection with the Parkway back through T. Brown park, turn around go out and back Conner to Blairstone then north to Hermitage into a neighborhood then back track back to Gov. Mall through Indian Head back to Seminole. Nice flats, nice hills early in the am the traffic is not too bad. Good asphalt bikepath on Blairstone and good sidewalks where the hills are and you can get out of traffic.
