St Johns Tour |
12-18 November 2017 |
Join us on Bike Florida’s oldest and most popular luxury hotel-to-hotel tour.
From the ancient streets of America’s oldest city, St. Augustine, you will embark on a seven day, six night journey that will take you south along the Atlantic coast to Flagler Beach, famed for its miles of unobstructed ocean view; through The Loop – perhaps Florida’s best kept cycling secret – and on to New Smyrna Beach, with its charming downtown and trendy shops and restaurants.
Striking west you’ll enjoy a cook-em-yourself pancake breakfast at DeLeon Springs State Park, stop for lunch at the quirky Three Bananas in Crescent City and arrive in eclectic Welaka, the self-proclaimed “Bass Capital of the World”.
You’ll spend a couple of nights in Palatka a city of murals that is fast reclaiming its history and restoring its waterfront downtown. On the way back to St. Augustine we’ve got a special treat for you; a delicious farewell brunch prepared by our friends who live in the Gullah-Geechee community of Armstrong.
This is a ride through history, culture and nature that you won’t soon forget.
