Sugarloaf Mountain Road in Orange County, Florida, is a favorite among local cyclists looking for elevation in an otherwise flat state. Winding through the rolling hills near Clermont, it leads to the highest point in peninsular Florida—Sugarloaf Mountain, at 312 feet. The road offers steep climbs (by Florida standards), fast descents, and scenic views of citrus groves, open fields, and lakes in the distance. It’s a popular route for road cyclists and training rides, with light traffic but no dedicated bike lanes—so ride with caution. Pair it with nearby roads like North Ridge and Frank Jarrell for a hilly loop.
