I know most of you are sick of reading about Dan DeWitt and his bicycle, so this is all I'll say about my Sunday morning ride on the Withlacoochee State Trail.
If you didn't make it out there on this sunny, crisp fall weekend to either take a walk or cruise along on two wheels, I actually feel sorry for you. That's how gorgeous it was.
This trail taps into the open space on the east side of Hernando and neighboring counties that, as a regional asset, ranks up there with the Weeki Wachee River and the Gulf of Mexico. The trail passes cattle grazing in pastures, the Withlacoochee State Forest, towns such as Floral City that were settled for some other purpose but, I swear, have reached their peak use as idyllic bike riders' lunch stops.
No wonder an estimated 300,000 people used the trail last year. So, wouldn't it be nice if a few of them took a detour into Brooksville?
Well, pretty soon, almost certainly, they will.
