The "Ride Here" section includes 18 Venice area paved cycling loops that the locals ride. In particular the "Depot to Dirt" is a route from the Train Depot to out Sarasota County's environmental lands east of Venice. It is a paved route with a taste of gravel for those with the appropriate bicycle.
The North Port Connector is a plan to connect Venice with North Port via trails. As part of the successful $60 million referendum to extend the Legacy Trail to downtown Sarasota, $2.0 million has been committed for the construction of a connector trail to North Port. The North Port Connector route that has been selected for upgrade will pass through Deer Prairie Creek Preserve and connect the east end of South Forbes to the west end of Price Blvd. Another existing connector uses the Powerline corridor through the Carlton Reserve to Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park (MCEP). A pedestrian/equestrian bridge was completed in September 2016 that connects South Powerline Trail to MCEP.
