Unless you moved from down the street from where you live now, it shouldn't take a whole lotta planning to figure out where would be a good place to ride, being you seem to be smack in the middle of some pretty outstanding areas to own a bike.

 
Hey Rodrigo

The roads in FL are pretty much just cut straight through the trees from point A to point B in as straight a line as possible. Up and down A1A is ok and Hwy 13 from Jax down to Palatka isn't too bad either. I haven't done much investigating in southern GA.

 
Inland areas of the panhandle have some good riding roads. Of course, that's the "highlands" of Florida, too! Enough hills to have to make curvy roads once in a while.

Bit of a hike from Jacksonville area . . . .

But near the coast, you get a lot of this:

The area between Tallahassee and Crestview has some moderately interesting roads, particularly if you are willing to get into Georgia and a little bit of Alabama, but very little of these roads will help remove your chicken strips. Not much traffic to contend with either as long as you stay off the major highways.

 
I'm in the JAX area. Hit me up. New to the area as well, guess could just pick a road and see where it goes. No GPS, no problems.

 
I-10If you wanna go fast. :blink:
How's the local and state representation on I-10, don't have a radar detector and I got tired of going to court to beat speeding tickets. Only been down 10 once last month to see some family in Patriot's home town, was in the cage with the family so limit was the law. As much as I tried, wifey wouldn't go for me "catching up" on the bike while she had 2 under 3 with her (I missed the last xcountry "fun" in the car). :rolleyes:

Two things:

Jax to Pensacola - :sleepysmileyanim: Pretty damn boring.

Madison County - :to_keep_order:

Other than that, 80+/- for the most part.

Thanks for heads up...

 
Capt Bob is right about this one! Madison County SO works I-10 really hard. Be cool there. Six or seven over won't even get you looked at, but if you are doing better than that, expect a performance award.

The troopers in the Leon County area will occasionally use big wolf packs just east of Tallahassee. I think they do it when they are graduating a new class of troopers.

Other than that, it's pretty much business as usual.

If you get bored with North Florida you can always run down to Howies and do doughnuts in his yard ;) I hear he wants to put a flat track behind his abode. :unsure:

:jester:
