On our AMAZING Dunedin (Dun-eed-in) Hub Tour, we will enjoy riding 100% paved bike paths, featuring the Pinellas Loop Trail, a wonderful 68 mile rail trail which connects Dunedin with Clearwater, Tarpon Springs, St. Petersburg, Safety Harbor and other smaller cities. This well-known trail is very popular and passes through quiet neighborhoods, manufacturing centers, past coffee shops and breweries, in several cities and towns. On this tour we will explore areas north and south of Dunedin. We’ll visit Clearwater, Honeymoon Island, Clearwater Beach and Tarpon Springs. We'll also cycle the spectacular Courtney Campbell Causeway Trail across Tampa Bay, one of the longest cycling trails over water in the country!
Our mileage averages around 25 per day on paved bike paths, with more mileage available daily.
What's a Hub Tour? We stay at the same hotel each night -- located ON the bike trail -- and set out on our rides from there each day.
