Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
Routes close by as we will be staying there for 9 nights and plan on a few 25 plus mile rides.

I would recommend the West Orange Trail, from the County Line station to the Clarcona Horseman's park--30 miles total, 15 each way:

Winter Garden is a nice little town to stop for lunch or dinner if you wish. The trail to the horse park is beautiful; it gets into some congested urban areas in the north end, so I don't go past the horse park.
You might try the Van fleet trail, too. Bring your own lunch there; it's 30 miles of woods-each way.

If you decide to venture over to Cocoa Beach (my town), you can stop off in Cocoa and ride Indian River Dr./Rockledge Dr. They run about 20 miles total along the coast of the Indian River--10 miles north and 10 south of downtown Cocoa-best ride in east Fl. There are several good restaurants in downtown Cocoa-El Charro for Mexican, very good and reasonable; Black Tulip if you want high class and don't mind paying for it. enjoy.
