Pinellas Trail – Florida 2004

Pinellas County, Florida. October 2004. This paved trail runs down the west coast of Florida from Tarpon Springs (Sponge capitol of the world) to St Petersburg through Pineallas county. Beginning at our hotel (Holiday Inn) on highway & Klosterman Rd, we rode the sidewalk along Klosterman road to where it intersected with the trail. We rode to the trails end in St Petersburg and back for a total of 67 miles. This busy trail is in a busy area with a lot of street crossings (I recall reading somewhere there are 80) and about 6 short moderate climbs where bridges cross some of the streets. You never leave civilization on this ride so there is always restrooms, food, water and help. There are occasional views of the Gulf.
