    BRANDON - Alafia River State Park boasts some of the more popular mountain biking trails in Florida.
    Some of the state's most treacherous, too.

    Adam Smeaton, 34, found out how treacherous Tuesday morning when he somersaulted down a 60-foot ravine after his bike struck a tree root. Smeaton, visiting from Long Beach, Calif., was airlifted to Tampa General Hospital, where he remained Tuesday afternoon.

    His condition was described as ``stable'' by authorities at the scene.

    The incident occurred shortly after 10 a.m., authorities said, when Smeaton and three friends were mountain biking on the Gatorback River Loop, one of the park's toughest trails.

    Hundreds of cyclists use the park's trails because of its challenging terrain, park officials said.
