Naples Florida
I'm going to have a couple of free hours in Naples Florida today. Any suggestions on where to ride around Naples?

Yep. North and south along Gordon Drive and Gulfshore Blvd. These are good roads for higher speed riding and are accommodated by bike lanes. Between these two north/southbound roads and 41 (Tamiami Trail) are quiet neighborhood streets with low traffic. You can easily do 30-40 miles in this area if your up to it. You can start around 5th Avenue and go as far north as Vanderbilt Beach Road. They are fantastic for slow to medium speed rides and have scenic neighborhood views.
If you are looking for a little more adventure (and speed) you can head eastbound down Vanderbilt Beach Road which has bike lane all the way out to 951.
Not sure where you are staying, but stop in at "The Bike Route" (my fav LBS) and they have a map you can pick up......655 Tamiami Trail North 239.262.8373
Enjoy! May see you out there somewhere.

Glad you enjoyed. Little cooler than it usually is here, but like you said, it's hard to complain.....
