It sounds like you had a great ride. And I totally understand about the Minneola to Killarney - not that I ever made it that far. I do want to go try it again. Last time I tried I took off from the Lake headed east pulling two boys in a trailer on a box store bike. Needless to say, I didn't get very far. Haven't been back with my better bike and trailerless. I know I'll still have issues but it can't be as bad as it was then.
