Common Questions
How long does the Ormond Scenic Loop take to ride?
Covering the 34-mile loop at a relaxed pace with a stop or two runs about 1.5 to 2 hours; riding straight through without stops takes less.
How technical are the curves?
The tightest section is the run of S-curves right after the Knox Memorial Bridge; the rest of the loop is gentler, including a long left-hand bend past Tomoka State Park.
What's the best time to ride it?
Weekday mornings avoid the Sunday rider and cyclist traffic that builds on the loop; the oak canopy keeps much of the route shaded even in midday heat.
Where can I fuel up?
Ormond Beach at the start and end of the loop has fuel; there's no gas station out on the loop itself.
What's worth stopping for along the way?
The Fairchild Oak in Bulow Creek State Park, estimated at 400 to 600 years old, and the Bulow Plantation Ruins a short detour off the main loop.
What should I pair this ride with?
The A1A Coastal Run north from Granada Boulevard toward Flagler Beach swaps the canopy for open ocean on the same day.
