Central Florida Trail Bladers (CFTB)

We're now on facebook, too!

Central Florida Trail Bladers & Bikers meets most Saturdays on the West Orange Trail. We also have periodically scheduled events throughout the week and in other areas of not only Central Florida, but the whole state. See calendar for details - "upcoming list view" is very useful. We attempt to use 3-letter prefixes to indicate activity locations (ORL=Orlando; TMP=Tampa; etc.).
