Howey-In-The-Hills, Dewey Road Run

Found another great local road yesterday.  One to add to the list for easy to get to, expand that menu of local roads that are within an hour of home....  somedays you just don't have the time to a proper long ride, so I'm always looking for that close-in local road I've missed before...

The DEWEYS up near Howey-In-The-Hills, fit that description.  Been riding past them since 2003, never went down one.. sad to say.  Just south of Howey-In-The-Hills on SR 19, watch for East Dewey Robbins Rd, follow that to South Dewey Robbins Rd, then it turns into Dewey Robbins Rd and finally hooks up with US 27.  Once you get on either DEWEY, just stay on the pavement, and you'll come out the other side just fine.  SR 19 to US 27, or the other way, same difference.  If you hit dirt, stop, turn around. 

Great extra little loop to add to your Leesburg, Tavares, Mt Dora adventure portfolio.  

 

Toss in a stop at the Yalaha Bakery, and you'll have a fine morning ride!

The new circle near Sugarloaf Mountain is almost done.  Still tricky though since the intersections are routed around the circle and not the best to get through yet.

 

 Stopped off to pick up some 303 Aerospace Protectorant for the bike, and had this photo-op.....
