Discovering Florida 5 continues a long-term journey of bicycle touring, photography, and historical exploration across the Sunshine State. This volume documents 25 new routes ridden between 2018 and 2020, covering more than 2,100 miles through 20 Florida counties.
The routes travel deep into rural Florida, visiting active towns, forgotten communities, ghost towns, river corridors, state forests, wildlife management areas, historic ports, abandoned settlements, springs, sinkholes, rail trails, barrier islands, and interior farmland.
The Discovering Florida / Descubriendo la Florida series documents Florida’s history, nature, geography, communities, and local culture through bicycle routes created since 2010.
