Florida Loop 2026 – Motorcycle Touring Trip Overivew

Florida Loop 2026 Motorcycle Tour Overview

Florida Loop 2026 is the not so clever name for my upcoming motorcycle touring trip, riding a loop of the state of Florida…. hence the name of the trip 😊

The trip as planned will be 8 days starting from Douglasville, Georgia to Pensacola, Florida and follow along the gulf and Florida’s west coast to the Everglades and Key West, Florida.  Then turn around and roll north following Florida’s east coast (more or less) and some interior back to Douglasville, Georgia.

Planned Miles = 2,495

Camping Nights = 5

Hotel stays = 2

Kickstand up: April 04, 2026

This will be my first touring trip with Bruce, my 2025 Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special.

I will be camping on the Gulf coast in Pensacola, Lake City, and later in the Everglades National Park (Gator bait lol), then near Lake Okeechobee, and again in Lake City on the way back to Georgia. Key West and Chokoloskee will be hotel stays.

USA South 2020 Motorcycle Trip – Day 9

Day 9 of USA South 2020 – October 15 2020. I depart from the motel in Jonesville, Louisiana in the wet, thick morning fog and continue the journey east rolling through Mississippi and stopping in Selma, Alabama.

Very pleasant travel day and happy to report no mechanical issues this day with Dexter. From here all the way to Georgia it’s trees and more trees :).
