Even before Florida was granted statehood in 1845, the land in and around the Withlacoochee State Forest has been populated by farms and ranches. The area was home to a sugar mill during the Civil War and was a major contributor to Florida's citrus industry for many years. This month's ride starts at the Florida National Cemetery which is just off 1-75, north of Brooksville. Along with miles and miles of country back roads, you'll find cool places to stop for a break in and around Floral City and Brooksville.
