Ride Profile

Ride Description

This is a long ride, best not done in the heat of summer. Also best done in a small group... not a lot of traffic but traffic moves quick. You will see lots of alligators and pass through the scenic Big Cypress. You will want to do it in 2 days to come back. Spend the night at Marco Island http://www.marco-island-florida.com/
