Default Florida's own Tail of the Dragon........

So I over head a sales guy telling this customer about this great road west of Orlando aboot 2 weeks ago. So I did a search on Mapquest and found State Road 455!!!! Having never been to Deals Gap I can't compare the two passes however I can say that this is the twistiest, hilliest road I've yet to see in central Florida. I swear I thought I was back up in Ipswich Ma the way the road wound thru the rolling hills.



Anyway if you get to Orlando or Tampa anytime soon you'll have to find this road between Clermont and Winter Garden heading north toward Leesburg. Here are some photo highlights of my 3 hour ride on it and connection roads today. I think I could have passed over 100 other bikers also on that road today. It was AWESOME!!!!!!






Remember this is in Florida, the flatest state evar!!
