Testing and checking the short route for WWW.... WILD WACKO WELAKA! Welaka with UA lady AMBY. Of course she found a beautiful nursery in San Mateo!
So far the route seems to get together pretty well...
Stay tuned for more details!

We are particularly attached to this photo!
So many good memories...
It was 2019 and UnpavedAttitude was just born few months earlier!
The conditions of the Ghost Highway back then were fantastic. These days many sections are covered with dirt and sand.
We are planning on having a Christmas "TERRENO MISTO" multi terrain ride on 12/14 riding the area and checking this timeless part of Florida and St Augustine history.
More event details soon...

A piece of history.... The abandoned ghost Brick road built in the early 1900 to connect Bunnell to St Augustine.

Time to work on the WWW.... WILD WACKO WELAKA!
When working on a new route we always strive for these 4 goals/targets:
1) Never repeat the route from past event.
2) Avoid pavement and traffic as much as possible.
3) The route has to combine challenges, fun, surprises.
4) Discover the real and untouched Florida.
Big thanks to our friend and helper Cameron (The Sand Whisperer) for the company and suggestions since we were pretty much in his back yard! 🙏🚴‍♀️
More details coming...

The Ocala National Forest has so much to offer to adventures and gravel riders to all skills and levels.

Cameron decided to take a break from a 102 degrees temperature in the ONF
The two routes are coming along! We could easily use the route from last year but... you guys know me, never repeat the same route twice, borrrrring!!!

Thank you everyone for Joining The Wild Palatka!
We hope everyone had a fun time out there.
It was a really wild one from the start!
One of those days when as usual we try to plan everything in our way and of course everything went completely in the opposite direction but isn't it that part of the challenge and adventure of what we do?!!🚴‍♀️😂
We apologize for very few pics of the ride but even our GoPro wasn't cooperating!
Please post photos and comments on the UnpavedAddict group.
See you at the next one!
We wish to our good friend and local legend Drew Smith a great HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Great day scouting the fantastic area around Lake Loochloosa not too far from Gainesville.
Beautiful scenery and amazing roads.
Definitely the real Florida!

Good and productive exploring with our friend and local legend, #1 authority in bike packing and adventure on two wheels SingleTrack Samurai, just south of St Augustine.
A lot of good options and new opportunities for Karlos fantastic event "River to Sea Loop".
Big thanks to Karlos for the invite.
We definitely need to get back out there and explore more of that area.

Florahome "The Sandy Chamois III" was a blast!
Thank you everyone for joining us.
The early shower right at the beginning of the ride made some of the Sandy roads a little sticky but during the afternoon it was perfect.
As usual a good mix of riders joined the 55 and the 80 miles options.
One of the highlight of the event was the opportunity to learn more about the history and the community of Florahome.
We had the chance to visit the Clubhouse (one hundred years old building) and learn so much.
A big thank you to our local friend and supporter Meri-lin Solana Piantanida for her amazing hospitality and kindness to all of us providing snacks and opening the door to the clubhouse.
We are already thinking about next year event...🚴‍♀️🙏
Florahome is a cycling paradise.
