Thanks for the ideas. Re-reading my post, I realize I wasn't too clear. I'm looking for a place to escape to in the winter for when I'm snowed in and want to go out and play. The reason I was looking at the west coast of Florida is because of all the flat bike paths there. I'm not looking for any real serious road riding. I'd just like to find a place for an easy escape. I'll keep these ideas in mind for when I relocate full time.
