Biking the St. Johns River-to-Sea Loop
Co-founders of the non-profit
Bike Florida, Linda Crider and Herb Hiller have
spent the past 30 years leading the Florida biking movement. This past October,
they launched their first long-distance bike tour, a 260-mile weeklong jaunt
that starts and ends in Palatka on the St. John’s River. You’ll cruise on backroads to
America’s oldest city,
Saint Augustine, the Merritt
Island and Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuges, state parks, and
along the Atlantic Ocean, with numerous beaches
to stop and rest. All tours are fully supported with luggage-carrying vehicles,
on-road guides, maps, overnights in B&Bs, breakfasts, dinners, and
naturalist-led programs. Hiller is a longtime travel writer who specializes in
Florida, so
few know this state better than him. Cost is $1,250 per person and the tours are
available fall, winter, and spring. Bike Florida.
