Dade City rewards a slow morning. Park near the Pasco County Courthouse, wander the brick streets of the Church Street Historic District, drop into the antique shops, and have lunch downtown.
Out of town there are two good detours. Pioneer Florida Museum and Village is a serious open-air collection of nineteenth-century buildings. Kumquat Growers is the largest kumquat farm in the country and the source of the strange and excellent kumquat pies the town is locally famous for.
For something more active, the paved Hardy Trail runs through downtown and links to longer rail-to-trail networks heading north.
