Overview

Embark on a 7-day, 6-night cycling adventure along the stunning Florida Coast-to-Coast Trail, covering 235 miles from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico plus add a day riding around Lake Apopka adding another 42 miles to your riding (277 total). On the Florida Coast to Coast tour, you will travel along nine different trails with some quiet road riding to connect two of the gaps in this trail. You will add a day in the middle of your journey to ride along the lake’s shoreline, with open views across the water and marshes. Herons and egrets patrol the shallows, while other birds feed, rest, and take flight around you. Over 260 species of birds have been recorded here, making Lake Apopka a rewarding destination for experienced birdwatchers and curious visitors alike. Bring your binoculars and leave plenty of time for photographs. Your journey begins in Clearwater, where you’ll settle in to your hotel (day 1) and prepare for the adventure ahead. On day two, you’ll be shuttled to New Smyrna Beach, where the real ride begins. Over the next six days, you’ll cycle westward, passing through Florida’s diverse landscapes, quiet lush forests, vibrant small towns, and scenic waterfronts.
