Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I know there is at least one book on the topic. Does anyone who has ridden the trail have personal comments on the good the bad and the ugly. Unfortunately I'm probably looking at doing the ride in early August when it will be both hot and muggy as ****.
thanks

Why don't you just ride Alligator Alley, just hot and muggy and occasionally being chased by alligators. Here is a website https://www.nps.gov/natr/bicyclinghome.htm. My in-laws lived in Tupelo and hated driving on it due to all the traffic. They said it had become sort of an interstate.
