“Floral City” is a twisty, scenic, safe motorcycle ride in Florida, United States.
Ehren Cutoff is entertaining and all but for me and for where I start this ride I would gladly skip it for where the real fun is north of 54. Got to get there somehow though. Definitely some big housing developments going in but not so many to ruin things, just yet.
This 367km ride visits St. Petersburg, Tampa, Lealman, Greater Northdale, Land O' Lakes, San Antonio and 9 other places.
