Myakka State Park. A 36 mile ride through the park. Snack break was at the general store at Myakka City. On the return we stopped at the concession stand in the park and then a short walk to the Canopy Walk that rises some 84' above ground.
First in line below is a LINK to click for a video of us leaving on the ride this morning.

This place is known for its "Bad to the bone" fried chicken. But it isn't the food cyclists need during a long and hot ride. This General Store out in the country is our favorite break stop on the Myakka ride route. |

I sure do like my coffee first thing in the morning! |

A short jaunt into the woods brings us to the high canopy walk. |

Is a hot ride in Florida complete without ice cream? |
