the Weekenders Bike Ride on Upper Tampa Bay Trail Tampa, FL the Weekenders
Come along with us for a bike ride. This time we hit the trails @ Upper Tampa Bay Trail. It's a 7.5 mile trail which is mostly shaded, and have benches and sitting areas along the way. You can bike, walk, run, or even bring your horses out on this trail. They have equestrian areas for your horses. We love Florida....
Tampa Bay Loop
On my most recent trip to the Tampa Bay area back in February 2016, I attempted to ride across part of Tampa Bay from Pinellas County to Tampa and back. (Note: this video was on the back burner while I did other videos, so I'm happy to finally have been able to finish it)
I had tried to do this route in 2015 but was unsuccessful due to construction blocking the Courtney Campbell Causeway Trail. It was a bit daunting to ride on the Gandy Bridge to get back across the water, but there is enough of a buffer on the shoulder that I felt comfortable (and determined to not have to be picked up). I met up with my sister for lunch at a Tijuana Flats (flautas are delicious and probably great for energy) before riding to Chainwheel Drive to return my rental bike.
I passed through Clearwater, Tampa, Ybor City, and St. Petersburg on my ride. Some of the trails I took were the Ream Wilson Trail, Courtney Campbell Causeway Trail, Skyway Park Trail, Tampa Riverwalk, Bayshore Boulevard Linear Park Trail, and Duke Energy Trail.
I got a bit of sunburn because I did not reapply it during the ride (yes, you can still get a sunburn in February if you're in Florida), but I look forward to another exploration of the Tampa Bay area by bike.

Tampa, Florida - Traveling Robert
In this final installment of the Tampa Bay travel vlog we are going to visit Tampa proper over the course of three afternoons. We are attending the Florida Rv Supershow in the morning.
On the first day we stay in the car most of the time, just getting a little bit of the lay of the land. We drive on the street that claims to have the longest sidewalk in the world, Bayshore Boulevard. We also drive through Hyde Park, a historic district, home to the famous Bern’s Steakhouse. The southernmost point of our exploratory trip is Ballast Point Park, from where we get extraordinary views of downtown across the bay.
On our second day we have lunch at the oldest continuously operating restaurant in Florida. Also the oldest Spanish restaurant in the United States, and one of the largest in the wold. Its name is The Columbia. While we are in Ybor City we explore some of the historic sites and take a round trip on the TECO line street car to downtown.
On our third day, we eat at a trendy restaurant called Ulele, on the riverfront. We also explore downtown a little bit and the University of Tampa on the other side of the Hillsborough River. The Henry B. Plant Hall, is a historic building, formerly the legendary Tampa Bay Hotel. Nowadays it hosts the Henry B. Plant Museum as well as some of the University services.
Overall it was a great time. On our way out we bid farewell to one of Americas iconic roadside attractions, the Airstream ranch, which was demolished just a few days after our visit.
