June 15th, 2006 We made it today to Winn Dixie in Marianna, and with the heat building relentlessly, we decided to quit at 53 miles. We had great luck in finding a great local Mexican restaurant for an immediate lunch, and a few miles farther on, we found a reasonable motel. Chelsea and I spent …
June 14th, 2006 We’re back where we left off last Sunday, in Midway – it seems like a year has gone by in only a few days. We spent yesterday doing some much-needed work and making phone calls. Our planned appearances in the Panhandle were canceled because of Alberto, but we have re-scheduled them for …
June 12th, 2006 Today was a great FREMA meeting (Florida Real Estate Marketing Association). We had a record pre-registration, but the impending tropical storm kept some people away. The meeting was excellent, as usual. Chelsea and I wouldn’t miss these meetings unless we are thousands of miles away! We are seriously happy that the FREMA …
June 11th, 2008 We got a great start, but it was already 77 degrees and very high humidity when we left at 6:30 a.m. We got horribly lost in downtown Tallahassee, and ended up going an extra 5 miles in extremely steep terrain, and losing almost an hour. We were so glad to finally be …
June 10th, 2006 We had a wonderful ride today! We did over 65 miles, and loved nearly every bit of it. The hills are definitely getting steeper and steeper. We are doing many more of them, and we are starting to feel it in our knees and quads. We are now in Tallahassee!! We stopped …
June 9th, 2006 We started out on a disorganized note today, and didn’t really recover. We are very proud of the fact that we made 42 miles, considering that we had some serious hills that were very tiring, and that we rode in higher traffic, lower shade routes all day. We ended in 98-degree heat, …
June 8th, 2006 We are writing tonight from a motel about 15 miles north of Live Oak – on the west side of I-75, and only 3 miles from White Springs. Chelsea and I rode another 60 miles today, and we did it all by 1:30 p.m., eating only a Greens Plus bar each and …
June 7, 2006 So here we are, 4 days and 142 miles into our trip. It’s been much easier than we expected in most ways, so far, but more challenging in others. We left St Augustine at high noon on Sunday June 4th, in 84-degree heat. Yes, it was a crazy thing to do, but …
