Outstanding coverage of one of the most stressful parts of the C2C. Fantastic job integrating your previous videos and love all the maps and your clear and concise explanation. Look forward to your future videos! Would love to see coverage of the current condition of the Heart of Florida trail.
Thank you for the compliments. It feels good to know that my efforts are useful and appreciated! I do not expect to do a Heart of Florida route video but who knows? Thanks for watching!
Ed, I'm an experienced bicycle tourist (I recently cycled the Keys from Key West to Key Largo) but I'm looking to 'motel' this one. Would you say there are motels along the Trail? Great video!
There are motels along the route. Starting in the Titusville area, many cyclists will go about 50 miles and stay in the Sanford/Lake Mary area. Several hotels to choose from near the route. After that, I am unsure. I suggest doing a search on the Florida Coast to Coast facebook site as this has been discussed in the past. When I cycled the C2C, I had a support campervan to utilize.
Do I take the Withlahoochee trail south towards Dade City? It looks like one map has it going West and not getting on that trail. Or did you just stop at the Withlahoochee for point of reference?"
If you are riding the C2C from west to east, from Brooksville take the Good Neighbor Trail to the Withlacoochee State Trail. Turn right and ride south (toward Dade City). When you cross over SR50, leave the WST and get onto the SR50 trail as per my video. I started at the WST as it seems that most route issues start at SR50 headed east.
The best, most accurate information yet, from any cyclists. Can't thank you enough, Ed.
You are welcome!! Thank you for watching and thank you for posting!!

If riding east to west, from SR50 trail get onto the WST and go north (away from Dade City), then west on the Good Neighbor Trail to Brooksville.
