Biking Florida: A Trip Through Paradise Takes a Wrong Turn, by Jeffrey McElfresh

Biketouring Florida: When a trip through paradise takes a wrong turn
In the winter of 2022, disabled cyclist Jeffrey (JuicyMelt) McElfresh planned a cycling trip around the coast of Florida. Biking with his wife, Tracy, they made it within 10 miles of Key West before disaster struck. This talk discusses planning, packing, and what happens when an epic adventure falls apart.

Join in as Jeffrey McElfresh rolls out his experiences of bicycle touring as a disabled cyclist. McElfresh was diagnosed with Charcot Marie Tooth, a neurological disease, as a teenager but only started riding his bike long distances as his mobility declined in his late 40s. The Further Adventures of JuicyMelt has changed the way he sees the world and how he interacts with it – all from the seat of his bike.
