Florida Backroads

I headed out late morning heading due east from Brandon. 20 minutes of dodging cagers to finally get to the back country. Today was most excellent weather, and my arthritic left hand gave me a break and allowed me to ride grinning ear to ear for over a hundred miles of pure joy. Best ride I have had in a long time. Cheers...

Nice photos. Thanks for posting. Next time you are out that way smokin joes bbq is a good lunch stop.

Sounds good. Where are they located?
Is this the one and only DDS Swampy?

4050 US-17, Bowling Green, FL 33834

And I’m not that swampy.

Beautiful pictures DBM and I'm glad you're hand gave you a break today. We hit a high of 41 today and it was cloudy so your pictures are a welcome change of scenery.

Will put this stop on my next loop out that way. I used to race motox back in the day, and rode off road dual sports for many years with the DDS boyz. Lots of great memories chasing the Swampster around the North Georgia mountains.
Do you have a street bike?

Thank you. here's a few more that were too big for the 1st post

I have a KLR so yes pretty much. The egg/smoked mullet place you stopped is less than a mile from my house. I get eggs from him $4 a dozen.

Some nice roads in east Pasco, most of Hernando & Citrus

Wish I had more time.

I’m in Lakeland with a KLR. I’d be interested if anyone wants to meet up some weekend for some similar rides.

Check out the sand box thread in the reginal forum. Also Dixie Dual Sport on FB.

I’m not on Facebook but we should get a group ride going from Brandon/Riverview. Going east I’ve found a few good BBQ lunch places.

I’m not on FB either. I’m up for a ride on most Saturday or Sundays. Can’t get me enough dead smoked pig for sure.

Smoked mullet?
What's that?
Some redneck set his hair on fire?
HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Agricola Mine Rd FTW!

Strawberrys in the 1 pic? Nice bike and even better backroads. I know there are quite few in that area. Do you ever get out towards Lake Wales area on the bike? I've been thru those back roads numerous times by car but not on a bike.

Yes. This time of year the fields are dark green stripes forever. Thank you. Love the 11 and the flatland where I grew up. I'm an old timer, and stay fairly close to the home base in Brandon 33511. I am good for about 100 miles of smiles before my arthritic left hand starts to complain. I'll be glad to share my favorite roads On Any Sunday.

I love to ride Old Dade City Rd and all the side roads that connect. Also the Green Swamp loop is awesome.

Yes. And there is a new coat of asphalt on the west end through a couple of nice 3th gear sweepers. Grinning ear to ear...
