I received this in an e-mail today and thought it was interesting:

 

New Florida Discovery Bicycling Center

On November 12 the new Florida Discovery Bicycling Center in Lake Helen will

roll out its inaugural training and touring program - the first of its kind in

Florida. The FDBC's first five-night, six-day program will begin November 12

with a full day of cycle training by League of American Bicyclists-certified

safe cycling instructors. The remainder of the program will include a schedule

of daytime tours with stops for wildlife sightings, historical briefs and

nature explorations along the scenic St. Johns River.

 

Local events and entertainment, such as storytellers and musicians, will be

incorporated with tours seasonally. In the evenings, riders will enjoy dinner

at area restaurants and private homes before retiring to The Cassadaga Hotel, a

1929 country inn and home base for the tours.

 

Sponsored by the Florida Bicycle Association, the River of Lakes

Heritage Corridor, and the City of Lake Helen, the FDBC is intended to create a

hub of outdoor recreational touring while helping adults cycle more safely on

Florida's roads.
