You can take country roads like 475 N , 42 E, 19 N, 314 West, 315 N, 315C, 315 South all the way to 40 then 314A (not 314) South to 25 and then back to 42 W to the Villages. These roads will take you up into Ocala National Forest. You will be riding in less populated areas. You will go through small towns like Salt Spring, Fort McCoy, Orange Springs, Interlachen, and Grandin. Just check the roads and put a nice country route together. I often take a side trip off 19 to Alexander Springs then back to 19N. I love the country up there. I take that run at least three times a month. My ride out of the Villages is around 250 miles round trip. You can also ride out to the Green Swamp (South) or Cedar Key. (West.) Cedar Key is a super place. Old Florida. Good restaurants. You have to be careful around population centers down here, but that is nothing new. Weather is perfect for motorcycling!
