Venezuela in the house!

[@alderguicardi6352]

Had a great time there, and I did ride faster with with Alex socks! Man, what difference ! I’ve been missing out ! 😂

[@TheRideXperience]

Long socks is my secret sauce for speed 😄

[@calilafollett]

Just don't go too long. That's just about as bad! 😁🤣🧦

🤦🏻‍♂️

[@RedWaveComing2024]

thanks for the video....been looking for a flat long trail without cross road....nice place to go really fast....it just an hour ride for me but will give it a try

[@MrCyclist]

Thanks Alex for the new area to bike. Marie and I (Dinsmore) will scout it for a route to and from Waterfront Park to add more kms.

[@RatherBeShredding]

Ive rode up to waterfront park from highlands reserve a few times, Sometimes I go in to lake Louisa to skip a good chunk of hwy 27. The gravel and dirt roads surrounding this park is where the real fun is!

[@JavierHernandez-gp1ef]

Nice video as always. There are gravel trails around Lake Lousia... for future vids...😊

[@TheRideXperience]

I was thinking about that! Wasn’t sure if they were rideable. Thank you for letting me know

[@ArmandGirard]

@@TheRideXperienceI was told by one of the park rangers that there are about 20 miles of gravel trails at Lake Louisa State Park.

[@terryharrigan6324]

Here now from Maryland. Have been coming here for about 7 years. In one of the RV sites for 2 weeks

[@DannyPimienta]

Can you use the loops for time trial practice? How far is the park from Apopka?

[@TheRideXperience]

You sure can. I believe its 30 min depending where you live

[@DannyPimienta]

@@TheRideXperience good to know. I live in Maryland but visit Florida and stay in the Apopka area when I’m visiting. 🙌🏽

[@florida-alaskasummer22driv62]

That was great, and I enjoyed your ride at Lake Apopka too. I call more serious bikers "the spandex crowd", and I don't try to keep up with them. My socks are shorter, shirt looser, etc., but I like to do 20+ mile, sometimes longer, slower rides, and explore. All the extra info., like where to park, fees, what else you can do there, was right up my alley. I'm just N of Orlando, & I'd make the trip.

[@TheRideXperience]

No matter if you are from the “spandex crowd” or “loose shirt crowd”, it’s all about riding bikes and having fun. Thank you for the the comment 🤙

[@gypsywindadventures]

How funny, the only crowd I belong to is a bunch of silver hairs and some of us wear spandex because of the comfort. Safe travels!

[@j.higbee6503]

@@gypsywindadventures Maybe I should change it to "bike bib crowd", but "spandex" has a ring to it.

[@Fropuff123]

Just moved to Winter Garden! Place looks like a great place for a quick drive and ride!

[@TheRideXperience]

Yes, we did a great ride this Saturday. Your gonna like it

[@selinov]

I’m new to the area. Are there any climbs in Central Florida? 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@TheRideXperience]

No mountains, but pretty steep hills: Sugarloaf Mountain the biggest hill in Florida kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXOrp56Pgctpack

[@selinov]

@@TheRideXperience Thank you! ☺

[@pauloregino2308]

Nice place

[@terryharrigan6324]

There are some trails for CX and mountain bikes. The sand can get deep sometimes.

[@TheRideXperience]

Yah, I really have to take a look into those trails

[@ArmandGirard]

Florida’s State Parks are a hidden treasure. There are 175 state parks and many have them good riding. The annual pass is $60 but if you usually take a friend of two get the family pass for $120. That allows admission of up to 8 people in a vehicle in most parks.

[@TheRideXperience]

I was very surprised with lake Louisa! I’ll definitely look for other parks to ride

[@terryharrigan6324]

Actually it's 10.2 mile loop assuming you go down the cabin road as well and turn around just past the dumpster just north of the RV sites.

[@carlossoltero20]

Yes on the short socks 😂

[@TheRideXperience]

Noooo!!!

[@calilafollett]

Just say "No" to short socks! 😂😂😂

[@TheRideXperience]

Agree!!!

[@Billy-cs4cc]

Deer...is plural...and nothing is perfect in Florida. Enjoy 😉

[@TheRideXperience]

Gotta loves my grammars like it's no tomorrow! 😝

[@timdowney6721]

You can expect hotels, shops, and pickleball courts in the new Ron DeSantis model for state parks. Nature is such a waste. (Yep, this is sarcasm.)

[@hornet224]

This place is HILLY. Better be in top form with a good road bike. Electric bikers like to blow by you on hills with a smug look on their face.

[@TheRideXperience]

Those e-bikers 😎
