From the organizers
"Old Florida" describes a bygone era long before theme parks, mega-resorts, HOAs, and pickleball.
Google it...it's actually a thing.
These dirt roads will take you back in time. Live oak trees with Spanish moss hanging off their branches have been there for 100yrs. Cool crystal clear springs becon just minutes from the venue. More cows than people along the route will surprise you. Roadside fruit stands selling oranges and watermelon await. Front porches and sipping sweet tea are local past times.
Old Florida Gravel will challenge you physically and reward you mentally. The miles pedaled will transport you to a forgotten era that you are certain to never forget!
