Title: Ever get that feeling ... (56K killer)
Post by: ohgood on June 07, 2008, 05:26:20 PM
that you should just slow way way down and enjoy the view ?

There are flowers and memorials all along one of my favorite rides.

Something kept telling me to stop and relax a while. So I did. Sometimes I think you can almost hear those folks we miss cruise by...

Part of Florida few tourists ever see there. Nice pictures.

I've been up and down central Florida a few times and it's like a whole different state compared to the coast.

That's beautiful man. Nice pictures. I've never gotten to know Florida except for the coastal areas and Disney. I HAVE noticed THIS.
It is a CLEAN state (at least in the areas that I've frequented), much unlike Louisiana.

The only thing I hate about riding is seeing memorials. :(

Thanks :)         Ya, they keep it clean here for the most part. Not so much pride as all the yankees that come down from NYC realize you don't -HAVE- to throw garbage right on the sidewalk ;)

I know what you mean frankie. Finding curves in Florida is harder than a virgin @ spring break. That particular road is actually a blast once you get through the start (where I stopped to photo the pano). It has elevation changes, off-camber turns, 3-4 sweepers, dips down into SPanish Moss covered trees (very cool) and has little to no traffic, ever. The route that road happens to be on is about 65 miles of curves, trees, elevation, fun dips, and a couple of sand strewn corners just for fun. Definitely one of my favorites. :)


It's just a crappy Nikon CoolPix L1, but the software ( PTGui PRO ) does a nice job of 'stitching' the photos together. I think this is the only piece of software I liked enough to purchase in the last 5 years ;)

That road is so straight it looks like you stiched a field pic on the right.  Cool shot though.  I wish there was a way to get ride of the bow on the others, I use Autostitch and so far have not had any luck - probably a pipe dream.
