Okay I had to go across the bay to Tampa today. As I am working on my well being,I decided to ride, 23 miles. I would take my time not push myself and have a day of it,plus I have a bike with a motor so it would not be that much of a hardship. I took the Courtney Campbell Causeway a nice 9 mile stretch. The good parts are mostly flat, great view. The bad parts: There is not one bit of shade the entire 9 miles,there is not one place to take a break,not one fucking bench the entire length. I mean in a retirement community area? Then there is not one concession or water fountain either. It is on average 80 everyday and you don't have basic shit like that. I did discover that the City of Clearwater is smarter than the City of Tampa. At Clearwater's end they have 2 gas stations so you can buy refreshments. Tampa, noting just office buildings. Then I find out that both counties got together and passed ordinances to outlaw anyone selling bottles of water on the causeway? WTF? Then to top it off when I got to the end in Tampa I was fried I see a beach with picnic places with BBQ stands and water taps. I was like wow I can grab a drink and splash some on my head to cool off, 8 set up all 8 taps turned off, WTF.! I could make a fortune with 3 little concession vans selling noting but water and gatoraide |

Not sure why you need a water break in the midst of a 9 mile motor bike ride but if you do you can pick one of these up cheap. |

If you think running out of water is annoying wait until you get a flat, which is inevitable. Either in a pouch or fixed to my bike are a pump, co2 cartridge, small tool set, replacement inner tube, $20 bill, and at least one bottle of water. |

I had 3 bottles of water and 2 gatoraides. I could only use the motor sparingly as not supposed to. I use the green stuff on my tires,cuts down on flats. |

Forget Tampa stay on the peninsula side, go do to Ft. De Soto park. Plenty of places to stop along the way (St. Pete beach, Treasure Island, etc). |

when i lived down dere, bikers--biker bikers, with 1600cc's of displacement and as many cm2 in ink--would rally at the east end of the courtney campbell on weekend nights and thunderously ride to the St Pete side. |
