I've enjoyed these bike trails myself. Thanks for sharing your experience 👍. I just finished Florida Coast-to-Coast trail 250 miles, took me 5 days.

Nice work here. I’ve been biking Florida paved trails since 2011. It doesn’t get any better. I love the Jax-Baldwin Trail it’s safe and beautiful. Also, you were very close to the Lehigh Trail in Palm Coast, you only needed to go west on Highway 100 in Flagler Beach several miles to Colbert Lane then turn right, a trailhead is just on the left. Enjoy.

Great idea to try out all these amazing rail trails. I've done about 5K miles in Florida and have biked most of them. Great video, loved it!

The roundabouts are for emergency vehicles in case some one has a medical emergency. As you stated there is nothing out there. Otherwise they would need to travel many miles out of the way to turn around. I travel this trail 4-5 days a week. When it was being built the construction engineers told me this.

If you have a van, why not use a laundermatt? * speed limit sign are mostly for electric bikes :)

Looks like y'all had a lot of fun. Are road bikes ok for such trail rides, or would gravel bikes be a better choice? Have a great 2022!

Looked like a lot of fun, mostly. It sounded like a mechanically programmed voice narrator?
