You asked for more Florida sunshine -- and being based in New Hampshire, we get it!  Senior Cycling is there with another peak season tour that's more far-ranging than the Dunedin Hub tour -- while we'll end up with a day and night each in Dunedin and St. Petersburg, we'll take you on several of Florida’s best inland Rail Trails.

Van Fleet trail, the Withlacoochee State Trail as well as the Pinellas Trail. Extra rides will include the Dunedin Causeway Trail and Coffee Pot Bayou Trail in St. Petersburg. 

Plenty of sun & sand, great dining opportunities, wonderful wildlife viewing and browsing local arts and culture are included!

29 miles – We ride the General James A. Van Fleet Trail, a wilderness trail through the Green Swamp. We picnic at a trailhead along the way. Keep your eyes open for wildlife! In past visits we have seen alligators, otters, and many species of birds. This trail is outstanding, too -- very flat and all paved! 

41 miles – The Withlacoochee State Trail from Dunnellon to Trilby Junction. This has to be one of the very best trails in the country. At lunchtime you're on your own in Inverness. This amazing trail takes you on a journey through wilderness forests draped in Spanish moss, through swamps, past lakes, along rivers, horse farms, and the towns of Floral City and Inverness.  

22 or 32 miles – Van ride to the beautiful 255 acre John Chesnut Sr. Park, adjacent to Lake Tarpon in Palm Harbor.  We'll explore the park a bit and then ride the northern section of the Pinellas Trail, then doubling back to head over to Tarpon Springs, where exploration and lunch are on your own; You'll love the Greek food and the famous Sponge Docks! Then we continue on the Pinellas Trail and bike right to our night's lodging in Dunedin.  

26 miles – Today we ride the urban Pinellas Trail from Dunedin to downtown St. Petersburg, where we’ll bike right to our hotel. We’re staying in the heart of downtown St. Pete, so you’ll be able to walk or bike to any number of establishments and celebrate our week of adventures together. Anyone wanting more mileage has many options available. 

The Pinellas Trail is a Rail Trail Hall of Fame Award winner. After riding it you'll understand why!

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast in downtown St. Petersburg or jump on your bike for a short ride up the North Bay Trail to the Coffeepot Bayou and back. Mid-morning we will pack up and van you back to our beginning Rocky Point / Tampa hotel and say farewell.
