Prologue to Florida 2019 Bike Trip


We are almost ready to launch our next cycling adventure, a three week trip through central Florida. 
We’ll fly into Tampa nonstop from SeaTac with our bikes as checked baggage (thank you Alaska Air!).  Our tour will include St. Petersburg and St. Augustine, and wonderful places between and beyond.  Because we hope to see many alligators (from a safe distance of course) along some of the trails we’ll ride, we titled this blog using a Seminole language “Alapattah Nini Ligiton” (Alligator Trail Ride).  We planning on a fun ride – we hope our blog brings you a smile or two.

in Tampa and going clockwise.
