S2E10. Attention Florida Coast to Coast cyclists! The trail gap of 24 miles along State Road 50 between Ridge Manor and Groveland is being shortened. FDOT roadway improvement projects are narrowing this gap to 17.4 miles (along SR50). That still leaves a sizable gap for those who are reluctant to ride along the very busy SR 50. As Ed did with the Orlando Gap, he explores an alternative route to safely get through this gap. The route presented here is all on paved roadways (no sugar sand) and is 27.4 miles in length, with 2.7 miles along SR 50. Also presented is an alternate route that is 35.0 miles in length, with 1.3 miles along SR 50. Ed gives an update on the status of the various roadway projects and then shows these routes, first westbound and then eastbound. You can follow along with detailed turn-by-turn directions and mileages going either direction on your C2C ride!! All four of these routes (2 westbound and 2 eastbound) are available as GPX files on Ride With GPS. Links below.
