Wednesday 12/28/2011 -  We rode the southern part of the Withalacoochee Rail Trail.  Started in Ridge Manor, which, in itself is an ideal location. The trail head is one mile from I 75 and only six miles north of the southern end of the trail.  This [...] http://www.thebicyclesite.com/tbsblog/?p=256 http://www.thebicyclesite.com/tbsblog/?p=256#comments Tue, 27 Dec 2011 00:38:30 +0000 admin http://www.thebicyclesite.com/tbsblog/?p=256 http://www.thebicyclesite.com/tbsblog/?feed=rss2&p=256 2 The Pinellas Rail Trail runs from Tarpon Springs to St. Petersburg.  It is an urban trail, so unlike the trails further north (see Parts 1 and 2), the ONLY  way to ride was to ride this trail is in relaxed mode. Our ride today went from Tarpon Springs to Clearwater.  We road on a dedicated lane [...] http://www.thebicyclesite.com/tbsblog/?p=246 http://www.thebicyclesite.com/tbsblog/?p=246#comments Sun, 25 Dec 2011 22:26:41 +0000 admin http://www.thebicyclesite.com/tbsblog/?p=246 http://www.thebicyclesite.com/tbsblog/?feed=rss2&p=246 1 Today, Susan and I rode the north part of the Withlacoochee State Rail Trail.  It is, at 45 miles, the longest trail in Florida. We started at the Inverness Trailhead (all the trail heads have parking and rest rooms) and rode to the northern terminus and back, around 32 miles. The Withlacoochee has scenery that constantly changes, [...] http://www.thebicyclesite.com/tbsblog/?p=221 http://www.thebicyclesite.com/tbsblog/?p=221#comments Sat, 24 Dec 2011 20:30:27 +0000 admin http://www.thebicyclesite.com/tbsblog/?p=221 http://www.thebicyclesite.com/tbsblog/?feed=rss2&p=221 1 Susan and I are on a road trip.  While we have taken many road trips by flying to a location and renting a car . . . this one is a first. We left from home in NY with our bicycles in the car. We took several days to get down to Florida, visiting various cities [...] http://www.thebicyclesite.com/tbsblog/?p=215 http://www.thebicyclesite.com/tbsblog/?p=215#comments Fri, 21 Oct 2011 21:45:47 +0000 admin http://www.thebicyclesite.com/tbsblog/?p=215 http://www.thebicyclesite.com/tbsblog/?feed=rss2&p=215 0 Its been a sparse summer for my blogs, I know.  Will try to do better.  To make up for the lack of posts, however, here is a gift. We were at three stages of the US Pro Cycling Tour in Colorado, this summer. Our trip to Colorado was planned long before we were even aware of the [...] http://www.thebicyclesite.com/tbsblog/?p=212 http://www.thebicyclesite.com/tbsblog/?p=212#comments Sat, 30 Jul 2011 19:39:38 +0000 admin http://www.thebicyclesite.com/tbsblog/?p=212 http://www.thebicyclesite.com/tbsblog/?feed=rss2&p=212 3 Its been over a month since my last post.  So much for two posts a month, April to November .
