Haven't seen that one. I work at 60 (Adamo) and 301. There's two guys that work at Ringlift across the street from me. One drives a lowered blue 66 bug, the other drives a really clean early bay window. They both mountain bike too so I see them at the trails on weekends.

It's close to 50'th street, if I remember correctly. On the side with the crosstown, when you're headed for Brandon. Closer to Brandon than 50th street. A block or two down from there, close to the bridge. I wish I remembered the name, but I know it was something electrical.

I'll try some google magic to see if I can figure it out.

I liked offroad biking at Carter Park in Mulberry. The mounds created decades ago from the phosphate mining create a terrain that's not usually found in flat Florida. Some parts are heavily wooded and can be a little treacherous along the narrow trails on top of the old mounds, and the scenery is very cool 8). It's an awesome place to ride :)

yeah, I haven't worked up the nerve for Carter Road yet. I love Alafia and Boyette though. We really are lucky to have suck awesome biking in "boring flat central Florida"

I'm in the St. Cloud area, just east of Kissimmee and south of Orlando. Small chances of VW's over here, mostly trucks and Jeeps which kind of sucks for me :( .
