Road Scenery:

Scenic
views and winding twisties and S curves abound. Lots
of tree covered lanes, and open roads passing pastures and
orchards. Nice view of Lake Apopka from the top of the mountain.
If the weather is clear, you may be able to see downtown
Orlando, or even as far as Cape Canaveral.

Road Quality:

Roads
are fair, with occasional dirt or sand on the pavement at
intersections. Plenty of spots to pull off to stretch your
legs. Some of the curves are pretty sharp, so be
prepared to lay it over pretty far.

Great
food at Ralph & Janes Country Kitchen on Rt448 in Tavares.
There is a Subway restaurant at the Citgo station at Oakland
& Rt 50. If you head south after checking out Sugarloaf,
you can go through Winter Garden where you need to make
sure to stop at Downtown Browns for ice cream or snacks!
Also check out the Railroad Museum.
