Thanks again. And yeah, Mt. Dora is not that far from Orlando or the bicycle shops over in Seminole county mileage-wise, but the traffic makes all of them a 45+ minute one-way drive. This area has turned into a traffic nightmare. They have one area along US 441 that they began widening like 4 years ago. This was an area that was maybe 4 miles in length. While they finished the part closest to Tavares, the area toward Leesburg is not finished. Now they are widening north and south along US 441. The road construction, repaving US441 at one end of Mt. Dora and ending right at Eustis started the whole thing in the spring of 2001. I would be shocked if the widening will be finished by 2008. Afterall, they are still working on a four mile stretch here almost 4 years later. That is a long time for less than 20 miles. And all it has done has made traffic and the driving surface horrible.
