Whenever I find the weekend slipping away...and not enough riding done...if there's 2 hours to be had, here's my favorite spots...
Head up through Sugarloaf - find Ferndale, then find Sugarloaf Mountain Rd. The view on a clear day is great, you can see the I-4 Eyesore and the Orlando skyline.
Go on up towards Tavares, cut over to SR19 and cross Little Lake Harris - always beautiful with the lake stretching out on both sides. Follow SR19 south into Howey-In-The-Hills, and at the little yellow caution light turn east to find an awesome lakeside park.
Further south on SR 19 almost into Groveland, is the Arnold Brothers boat ramp at the Palatlakaha Creek (fun to say, beautiful nature views from the scenic boardwalk to see!).
Any time of year, a quick run through these scenic spots restores me and washes the workaday blues away.
