There are several good rides there. Definitely hit the River Road ride. They have a couple group rides on River Road; Saturday morning ride is very popular. If you go without the group, it's not like you need a cue sheet; it's just one long, quiet ride along the river.
If you want to drive a little, there are some great rail trails in Orlando and beyond:

The West Orange trail is awesome, and only an hour away from Melbourne. have fun.
