Longest Day

Today we rode right at 90 miles which is the most miles I have ridden in a day on the trip, but tomorrow we are going to be riding 91 miles to Tallahassee, so I will have a new longest. We are going across the top of Florida which is the wide part of the state.  It was cloudy and cool all day but no rain and tomorrow it is supposed to be clearing with some sun, super. We are in a camp ground tonight and I am sitting in the laundry room where it is warm reading my IPad and writing this blog. Lots of head wind today, 10 mph with gusts to 24 mph, and tomorrow is supposed to be a bit worse. Florida has been great in that almost every mile we have been riding in a designated bicycle lane. I love designated bicycle lanes. Also, so far there have been no rumble strips in Florida, and no “chip seal”, the roads have been as smooth as my clean shaven cheeks. Also, of the States we have driven through Florida drivers have been by far the best and most gracious and careful around us as we ride. In the cafe’s, campgrounds, and motels people have been very interested in our trip and have asked questions and talked and talked until I was looking for the door. Yikes, it is now 9 pm and it is POURING rain!! Whooooeeeeee I hope our tent doesn’t leak tonight. I think I might just sleep in this laundry room😀
