Just got back Sun. from a 10 day Ft. Lauderdale to Gainesville and back tour.I took A1A from Ft.Lauderdale to Palm Beach then Rt. 1 all the way to New Smyrna Bch. where I took 44 west through Deland to 42 along the So. boundry of the Ocala Natl. Forest to Altoona where I picked up 19 north through the Ocala NF to its intersection with 40 at the center of the park which I took west to 326 which bypasses Ocala.I then picked up 27 north and decided to vear east of Gainesville by taking 301 to Hawthorne where I picked up the Hawthorne-Gainesville bike path into Gainesville.On the return I took 27 all the way down to just south of Sebring where I picked up 98 east to 70 at Ockeechobie then 441/98 south around Lake Ockeechobie to where 98 splits off again and once again took 98 until it ended at 441 west of West Palm Bch. where I took 441 the rest of the way.I had some tire troubles in the Gainesville area causing me to lose time and necessitating a high milage day 120-140 miles on Sun. to get back in time so I am definately still in a recovery mode but will try to post more detail on the trip and the route when I get a chance.
