The 2nd Annual Trails of Florida (ToFLA) Tour
Back by popular demand! After the rave reviews of our inaugural Trails of Florida (ToFLA) Tour, we’re excited to bring it back for a second year. This unique cycling vacation takes you exclusively along some of our favorite bike trails in Florida. As a national leader in bike path development, Florida offers scenic, traffic-free routes that showcase the state’s hidden natural beauty.
Tour Overview
This five-day ride begins in St. Petersburg and heads north along renowned trails such as the Withlacoochee, before shifting to Central Florida to explore the best of the state’s interior paths. The full package includes five nights of accommodations (Sunday through Thursday), with breakfast and dinner provided each day. This is a quasi-hub tour, meaning we’ll only change hotels twice during the trip to help keep things easy and comfortable.
Tour Details
The tour kicks off in Trinity, Florida, on Sunday, February 8th. Throughout the week, some shuttling will be required, with no single trip exceeding 90 minutes (even with traffic). After the final ride on Friday, participants will be transported back to the host hotel in Trinity.
