Florida''s C2C Trail Guide is a guidebook designed specifically for the 250-mile bicycle trail that provides an uninterrupted cross-Florida trail from Titusville to St. Petersburg. The trail (over 80% complete and to be completed by 2025) already attracts not only local users, but also bicyclists and cycle tourists from out-of-state. This book provides readers with a broad background of the communities through which they will ride. This is not a detailed "how-to" guide, nor does it provide lodging, camping or restaurant information; much of that information changes frequently and can be easily obtained via online searches. Instead, this book focuses on interesting cultural and natural aspects of the route. By highlighting the local flavor of small towns, the beauty of natural Florida, as well as local historical events, this book will introduce readers to the uniqueness of Florida. This includes, among many others, the Greek heritage of Tarpon Springs, Winter Garden''s citrus and bass-fishing past, Titusville''s role in space exploration, the natural world of manatees and migratory birds, beautiful fresh water springs, moss-shrouded oak trees, in addition to important historical Florida figures such as civil rights leaders Harry T. and Harriett V. Moore and Russian entrepreneur Peter Demens.
