I'll have to come with you one week to take some "sporty" pictures for you :beerjug: (once my camera has dried out of course :rolleyes: )
 
That looks like a lot of fun :) Mouse and I are going up the Strata Florida this weekend so its nice to be forewarned what to expect!
 
Where exactly is that road i.e. start/end point? Is it straight forward to follow? Are we to expect land owners or farmers to approach us with guns when met? How far is it? How about riding two up?

Sorry for the questions but it looks tempting. Looks good for a mountain bike ride too.
