点评:My husband and I joined the inaugural Coast to Coast tour in Florida with Discovery Bicycle Tours this February, and it exceeded our expectations. The route took us from Clearwater Beach on the Gulf to Merritt Island on the Atlantic, using thoughtfully selected segments that were overwhelmingly on paved bike paths. Much of the riding wound through peaceful wilderness areas, with occasional stretches through small communities.
Highlights included the sweeping carpets of saw palmettos under the slash pines and vesper sparrows darting across the trail in the Starkey Preserve. Lake Apopka was unforgettable for its abundance of water birds and alligators. Our guides, Steve and Eric, were outstanding—organized, attentive, and consistently making sure we were comfortable, on schedule, and well fed.
A special surprise was watching a SpaceX rocket launch on our final night. It was the perfect ending to a memorable trip. We would gladly take this tour again.
翻译:今年二月,我和丈夫参加了Discovery Bicycle Tours组织的佛罗里达州首届“海岸到海岸”自行车之旅,体验远超预期。路线从墨西哥湾的清水湾海滩一路延伸至大西洋的梅里特岛,精心挑选的路段几乎全部是铺设好的自行车道。大部分路段蜿蜒穿过宁静的荒野,偶尔也会经过一些小村庄。
亮点包括:在斯塔基保护区,松树下铺满锯棕榈的茂密草坪,以及在小径上飞来飞去的黄昏雀。阿波普卡湖也令人难忘,那里栖息着大量的水鸟和鳄鱼。我们的向导史蒂夫和埃里克非常出色——他们组织有序、细致周到,始终确保我们舒适、行程按时、饮食充足。
一个特别的惊喜是,我们在最后一晚观看了SpaceX的火箭发射。这为这段难忘的旅程画上了完美的句号。我们非常乐意再次参加这个旅行团。
