It’s been a while since I wrote, my life has changed a lot…unfortunately, I had to get a job…boy that’ll wreck your life! I also got a dog! A whole new dimension to being outside! Anyway, I need to finish this blog because I see that other’s are beginning to link to it. So here we go…
At the end of the Cady Way- Cross Seminole Trail, I ride on the streets to get to another part of the Seminole Trail…up the 426 to Aulin Blvd. then right. You have to be careful here because the road is under construction and Orlando drivers regularly run people over in the street. At the end of Aulin Rd, where there is a very nice tree shaded cemetary, turn left and ride on the east side of Winter Park High School. It’s a short ride past another elementary school to the Seminole Trail. The trail at this point goes into Oviedo on the right or over towards Winter Springs. Since my goal in life is to avoid work and be in the trees, I go left and the first thing I come to is the Howell Creek bridge. A nice stopping place for taking pictures.
It’s very shady on this part of the trip . Further on you want to stay left to keep on the trail or go right to go to the Black Hammock Trail Head. Check out this link for a PDF map:

By this time in my journey, I’m pretty well exhausted and looking for the path back home… I don’t know why but I tend to take long trips in 90 plus degree heat. This is really a training ride for me because it’s about 35 miles door to door. The trail heads west and north until I get to the overpass at SR 434. It’s proobably the highest elevation that bikes regularly can get to in Seminole county.
Just over the overpass, the trail ends, although it’s under construction. I haven’t been there in several months so there’s a good chance that the trail continues from here…
I’ll be blogging soon about some of my other exploits because I recently acquired a kayak and I can’t wait to get outside with that!
