Ocean Reef
Found my training route, a 24 mile round trip to Ocean Reef via 905.
Staying on the east side of the road, heading north, it’s a shady ride due to the wall of mangroves. On the way back, I’m opposite traffic, but there’s not much activity on this road.
Even though this is the first post in almost 2 years, I’ve been riding my mountain bike all over South Florida. This is the first true training ride worth even mentioning, or else you’re hearing about when I go get groceries at Publix, which is only a 5 mile round trip.
Key Largo is my new home, I do miss Charlotte and the McAlpine.
distance 23.73 miles, average speed 14.2 mph.
Miami, FL
What can I say, it's Miami.
The inhabitants of this city prefer baseball caps over helmets.
The weekend warriors do wear helmets, but lack basic bike etiquette at times.
The delivery riders on electric bikes are just plain crazy, no road rules apply to them.
Look both ways and pray.
