Gotta love it! Hope you all can get down here for bike week. Saw this on my ride today and had to snap a pic. The farmers are harvesting .

Got a bit brisk, at speed, when the clouds moved in but it was a good ride day.

Last week I got frost bite on my cheeks while out on the beach on Anna Maria, I don't know what part of Florida you are in....

Harmony, right near Saint Cloud. Feels like the middle of nowhere compared to where I lived in MD. Civilization is 30-45 minutes in either direction. LOL

That reminds me of driving I4 from Tampa to Orlando. The orange groves smell of fresh oranges. Then from Lakeland to Polk City you can smell the processing plants. Yecch. That'll keep you out of the orange juice isle at the grocery store!

Can't imagine working there, it's bad enough living 3 miles downwind of a citrus plant. SKEEV-A-LICIOUS!

Don't have that problem here. Snow and ice are odorless. Looking at the long range weather forecast, I might be able to start riding again in June.

Doesn't really bother me that much, but the closest one to me is 25 miles north.

If I can smell it, that means it is going to get cold -- Cold front pushing south !


I think the smell while riding through the groves in the springtime makes up for it, though.

I'm in Ocoee, about 10 miles W. of Orlando. I also have a juice plant to the North of me I can smell on North breezy days. I also remember in 89 when we had some bad freezes, the farmers didn't harvest and just let the fruit rot. It fermented and the birds started eating it and getting soused. I got nicked by a drunk crow while out for a ride! Nothing worse then flying drunk.
