Florida Hills from a Seattle perspective
A lot of my family lives in Florida - that is nice for us in the winter - I've noticed during the last 45 years that it occasionally rains here in the Puget Sound during the October to thru June period that we call winter.
While riding in Florida I stopped in a small town to ask directions. They were very helpful and said "go about two miles North - after you go up and over the BIG hill - turn left at the bottom..."
Couldn't find the place to turn left - went back for more help - turns out the BIG HILL was the overpass where the county road went up and over the Interstate.
Another Florida Hill story:
I spent three months with my Dad in Cape Coral Florida a couple years ago - I stopped in the local bike shop to ask where I could ride to get some uphill work so I would not suffer to much when I got back to Puget Sound.
The shop said they do a local hill climb and gave me the address - it turned out to be the Cape Coral bridge over the Caloosahatchee River - the road rises from 5' to 65' in a 1/2 mile - that was the local hill climb!
A final Florida Hill story:
My folks live not to far from a scenic rural road called "Tuckers Grade" - I had to try riding that - the roads with "Grade" in them in Puget Sound of SoCal always seemed to be a challenge for me. "Tuckers Grade" climbs 10 feet in 10 miles!
Local Perspective is what counts
