Type 1 Fun: Getting Dirty in North Florida

In this video, JOM of Gravel Cyclist splits from his day job a little early, for a short but fun ride starting and ending in White Springs, Florida. Many thanks to the Suwannee Bicycle Association for their route! - https://suwaneebike.org

"White Springs is a town in northern Florida on the Suwannee River. The population was 777 at the 2010 census, down from 819 at the 2000 census. Home of the annual Florida Folk Festival, it is a tourist destination noted for historic charm, antique shops and river recreation." - https://wikipedia.org

"The Suwannee River was once the boundary between the Timucuan peoples to the east and the Apalachee people to the west. When Spanish explorers visited the area in the 1530s, the spring was visited by natives from both sides of the river, who believed the water possessed healing powers. The Indians considered the spring a sacred healing ground, and used it even in times of war; any tribe member could bathe and drink the mineral waters without fear of being attacked. The spring water has a "rotten egg" sulfur smell that comes from dissolved hydrogen sulfide gas."
