Where? I want to go!

The path goes along the lakes bordering Bradford, then crosses a very narrow bridge to the Village of St. Catherine. Then the path goes along the lakes bordering St. Catherine until it reaches Meggison Road in the Village of Citrus Grove. Turn left to follow the path and continue on to the Homestead Recreation Area.

The path stops there and you can see where the path will be extended to three new Villages.

Down in the new area south of route 44, they have nice off street paths for bikes and walkers.

I’m sorry but when it happens every single day, I don’t consider that an isolated incident

The other phrase, drive with care is key. Yes it is a golf cart community and we have one. My complaint is those who don’t drive with care.

[Walker1990]

Thanks we have been there. Very nice trail

Sorry, they have full rights to ride in both places, as do golf carts on the 30 MPH and less streets. Bike riders pay the same association fees as everyone else and do less damage to the multi-modal paths.

I agree

Don’t have a membership and you try riding 20 miles on a stationery bike. BORING
The point of the post was to raise awareness to the fact that the trails are for sharing safely so act accordingly

Yup. Enlightened is the way to go. Move south and ride until your hearts content and get of the cart paths or ride in street

Are you serious? You advise riding a bicycle in the street as a safe alternative to riding on an MMP??
