Yeah, the food is GREAT. There are rolling hills, but no major grades. The area is fairly remote, lots of empty roads.

You can bring a lot of gear for the first 3 days as your car will be there with you. When the camp moves, you will be limited to the traditional 2 bags which you load on a truck.

It's often cool in the spring. Dress accordingly.

Definitely worth the trip. We travel about 6 hours from Boca Raton Florida each year and it is a blast. There are cyclists from around the US who by spring are anxious to get it going.

Motels are scarce, I would go to The Best Western as it is in a remote part of Northern Florida which is part of the charm.
