The Sugarloaf Mountain Ride

28 McR Points

Motorcycle Type : Cruiser

Rode this route in January of 2021. I modified it a little to go through Mount Dora. That was about the best part of the ride unfortunately. I imagine these roads have changed quite a bit in the 14 years since it was posted here. There is a ton of construction and the traffic is pretty heavy. I would go there again just to hang out in Mt Dora for a while, but that's about it. I trailered my bike down from NC to ride in some warm weather for a while. These FL roads are no comparison to NC though; boring and crowded.

nice ride, but noting more. I was expecting more from the number 6 in the state of Florida. Few nice hills and turns, but not more...

Easily accessible from greater Orlando area. Decently curvy in the area near the "mountain" itself. You won't find any true "twisty mt. roads" for sport riders to gobble up in Florida, but this can be a neat little ride for a mixed group of cruiser, standard, sport where everyone can ride at a casual pace. Not much space to pull off at the unmarked peak as it's a residential neighborhood with more houses being built, but a wide grassy shoulder abutting someone's property give you a narrow view from the highest point on the FL peninsula! Bookend this ride at the charming strip of shops/restaurants on Plant Street, Winter Garden for a chill afternoon.
