Central Florida Curvy Roads

[Grillfish]

I snagged this off a sport bike site posted in early 2009. I've been on some of these roads, but have not confirmed the noted route below (i.e. road closures, construction, etc..). May look at it via Google Earth and then might try it out one day. Anyone been on any of these noted below?
