Paved Gulf rail-trail miles -- beaches are the slower coda.

If Gulf Florida has a rails-to-trails product made for casual e-bikes, it is the Legacy Trail -- continuous paved miles, town anchors, and enough distance to justify assist.

Legacy Trail in one paragraph

Sarasota County's Legacy Trail is the Florida Gulf rail-trail locals finish on e-bikes: paved, mostly flat, town-to-town, with Venice as a classic southern turnaround. Beach boardwalks are a separate social contract.

Ride plan that works

Mid-trail out-and-back

Park mid corridor; turn before the battery reserve is gone.

Venice turnaround day

Coffee-town energy with continuous paved navigation.

Sarasota northern access

Urban connectors and rentals before full-system ambitions.

Beach coda only

Barrier beaches = crawl zones, not training miles.
