Key West Tour 2017-Day 6

Today's ride takes us 32.4 miles from Melbourne Beach to Vero Beach. At mile 17.3 we will pick up the Route A1A Trail. The Route A1A Trail (actually just a fat sidewalk) runs primarily along the west side of Route A1A in Indian River County, FL, linking the barrier islands off the coast of Vero Beach. It is a classic "side-by" path but I guess it beats the white line. We will have this giant sidewalk all day long. There are numerous driveway and road crossings, and in some spots the trail (sidewalk) gets narrow, so we will have to use caution. Sand on the trail and wind are other factors to watch out for.
