My family just returned from a trip to look at condos in a fairly undeveloped part of Florida.  What struck me was the number of travelers with bicycles.  Serious biking.

<p>My family just returned from a trip to look at condos in a fairly undeveloped part of Florida.  What struck me was the number of travelers with bicycles.  Serious biking. I saw many with 4 or more bikes going along for the vacation.  What also struck me was how Florida really did not have any &#8220;good&#8221; places to bike, at least not convenient to the areas with condos and house rentals.  I was thinking for my family what a great place our Gulf Shores unit is to bike.  Our building provides a bike rack for locking your bike up safely once you arrive.  Gulf Shores provides bike lanes all along Beach Boulevard, and you can easily hit many side roads for scenic routes, or bike up to Gulf State Park.  Me, I am more of a bicyclist as means of transportation, and I like biking for trips to the souvenir shop, ice cream, or even to Wal-mart or Brunos (kid seats come in handy for bringing home the groceries!).  Bikers, look to Gulf Shores for a great beach and biking getaway!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Holidays &#8230; it is a special time to be at the beach, and Gulf Shores, Alabama sure welcomes you! People are around, but it is sure different from the summer crowds. Life slows down a little, and you can appreciate the seemingly longer days and enjoy your life with your wife (or husband!), children, and friends. Even meet new friends while taking a stroll on the beautiful sugar white sand. The winter beach goers do seem much more social at this time of year. I always enjoy meeting new people from all over the country, whether they are regulars to Gulf Shores or newcomers.</p>
<p>Not to mention, you&#8217;ll love that you can still swim in the indoor/outdoor pool our complex has to offer.  If it is a really cold day (unusual!) you can bask in the sauna or steam room!  And of course we all have those days we just want to sit around, watch some cable TV, and enjoy a hot cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate!  There is no better place to do it then up on the 10th floor with spectacular ocean views!  Come on down today &#8211; we want you to have a great time!</p>
