Only two posts ago I wrote about how cold it is, and it’s still true. We’ve had another ‘winter’ here in central Florida. Our friend was here to visit for a few days, staying in a tent and he had to make it through a 27 degree night. Brrrrr!

The days, though, were actually quite stellar for the rounds of mountain biking that we sought out – five days in a row in this order: Alafia, Carter Road (ok, Loyce E. Harpe Park, which doesn’t have the same mountain bike trail sound to it, Balm Boyette, Santos, then back to Alafia! Doug rented a full suspension Giant Trance from A.J.’s bikes in Valrico and was pleased with the bike for his mountain bike Tour de Florida.
