Heading to Ft. Lauderdale tomorrow

turnitonagain · 12-28-2012, 09:58 AM

Hello folks,

I'm going down to Ft. Lauderdale tomorrow for 6 days... Apparently they have motorcycle rental over at a place called eagle rider. In any event what are some places worth while to take a nice little scoot? Much appreciated,

There just aren't many. The roads and traffic make it boring to most riders. There is A1A to ride along the beach, and... the 'loop' road for a scenic area that a road bike can do.

The Florida Keys might be a nice relaxed-pace run. Flamino, in the Everglades, comes to mind, but again - don't expect a great 'ride,' just a long ride.

South-east Florida is unlike so many other places I have been in that it really is too many people stuffed into a small space. There is little room for making anything 'interesting' to ride beyond a few parks and main attractions.
