Doesn't it rain a lot in Florida? I would think that would limit riding just as much as the winters in the states located in more arid regions.

There is a rainy season in FL but when it happens you really dont mind it.
It feels good. Obviously, the torrential stuff is not fun, but the rainy season
rains are usually short 15 minute drenchings throughout the day that the sun
stays out for. When its 95 degrees, and you have 5 more miles to go, its refreshing.
