I biked 28 miles on one final trail as I was leaving Florida after 26 wonderful days in the warm sun. I've biked this trail four or five times over the years and enjoy the miles of wooded sidelines as seen here...
It's also the only trail of the 160+ I've biked across the country to have railroad gates protecting bikers at a rail crossing (click to enlarge)...
I biked all but three days while here, for a total of 374 miles, every ride in shorts and t-shirt. Great way to spend a winter month! And this time, I followed a paved walkway from the rest stop area and discovered Camp Milton Historic Preserve on the other side of the tree line. More about this Civil War stronghold and its wartime significance in this post.

Chuck I finally made it to the Jacksonville-Baldwin Trail in March 2012, and started my ride from the Camp Milton Historic Preserve. This is an incredible trail. I love the shade the canopy provides for so many miles. This is one of my favorite places to ride. I also managed to make it to Baldwin and the train depot. Just a great paved trail here. I'll have to make another visit soon. Another fantastic blog from you as always. I enjoy reading. Take care.
