Tour de Loop

Today we took our longest bike ride ever! The Daytona Bicycle Club has established 3 loops along this coast. We took the shortest one around Ormond Beach.

We started at 10 AM and rode north along Bridge St, then east on Walter Boardman Ln, then zig and zag along Bridge Road to John Anderson Dr. which parallels the A1A Coastal Highway. Then South to Granada Blvd., across the Ormond Bridge and then north again to the state park. Total of 26.5 miles! And we were back at the RV by 3:30 PM.

It was a beautiful ride. We saw lots of sloughs, river, snowy egrets, great blue Herons, terns and robins. We crossed a draw bridge, a crabbing bridge, and a fishing bridge. We rode along the Atlantic Coast and had lunch with the locals. It was cool (53°) and slightly breezy but we were dressed for the chill so it didn't bother us much.

We might be ready for the Katy Trail!
