“Floral City” is a twisty, scenic, safe motorcycle ride in Florida, United States.
Ehren Cutoff is entertaining and all but for me and for where I start this ride I would somethimes skip going one way or the other it for where the real fun is north of 54.
Got to get there somehow though and if I leave early enough in the morning to miss the traffic, I take I-275 and I-75 to SR 52 exit and proceed on from there.
Definitely some big housing developments going in but not so many to ruin things, just yet.
I generally ride this early every other week when the weather's dry and not to cool. Hit me up if you want to join me and give it a try and if you have any suggestions for something I'm missing, please message me.
