I live in Winter Garden, some very nice country roads that make you feel your not in FL. Towards the west there are even nice sized hills.

Can I ask why your going to that road? If your heading north after that I would say take hwy 27 north and get off and cut trough sugarloaf mountain area it's really nice and the highest elevation in central florida.

Dont know the road but map quest shows it as a dead end. That area was nice to drive the back roads until they built up Stoney brook noes it a bunch of lights with stuck up people and cops. Have you looked into going through montverde->ferndale->sugarloaf mountain->howey in the hills? There some really nice back roads with big elevation changes and nice curves.
