Myakka State Park

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.

Here are some photos from today

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.

A long clim up to the top, where we can overlook and see the area for several miles.

Is a hot ride in Florida complete without ice cream?
