Faustian Bargain

This course embraces the spirit of adventure by heading deep into the wilds of northwest Florida forests. We will visit the Goethe State Forest on our way out of Historic Bronson and ride towards the unconquered and untamed Upper Waccasassa Preserve. There are few roads and even fewer residents. Plenty of wildlife and sketchy characters await so any attacks off the front of the group will be at your own risk. Many have entered these parts but not all have returned.

There is one store stop in sleepy Otter Creek at Hershel's Bait Shop (mile 46). Authentic Florida snacks and a gift shop for those wanting a souvenir from the adventure.

The final leg of the tour will take you through Devils Hammock Preserve. It is a lonely stretch that has only one way in and one way out. This means negotiating the Devils Rapids as you attempt to find a way back to civilization. Don't worry your shoes (probably) won't get wet, but no guarantee this will be an easy passage.

Come along for this historic journey over 66 miles through the wild, wild west of North Florida. You will need a bike that plays well in the dirt.

Rolling out at 10 am.
