Sunday, May 8, 2011 Chiefland to Inglis, FL 38 miles One of Larry’s friends stopped by to chat as I was packing up this morning. He’s a recumbent cyclist, so we talked shop a bit. Larry laughed and laughed about my raccon-eyes tan from my sunglasses. I guess you can see it better in the […]

Saturday, May 7, 2011 Perry to Chiefland, FL 68 miles The beginning of the road was a little irritating today. I arrived in Athena, and the only building was a bike shop. Cool! Oh. A motorcycle shop. And no convenient store either. Then there was a lot of road narrowing, which really means the shoulder […]
Whoosh!

Monday, May 2, 2011 Ft. Walton Beach to Bonifay, FL 15 miles in the car 62 miles by bike Jenny and Jim drove me past the crowded beach highway with no shoulder to a better starting point this morning, on their way to the community dental van. We said goodbye, then I loaded up. They […]
Sunday, May 1, 2011 Ft. Walton Beach Rest day I was so glad to have a rest day! This week’s riding really wore me out. But it was still a fun, full day. Briefly: I slept late, then Jenny and I went to the beach and relaxed. I did yoga when we got back. Then, […]
Saturday, April 30, 2011 Big Lagoon State Park to Fort Walton Beach 61 miles I left Big Lagoon with directions to the Coffee Cup, the diner in Pensacola recommended by roadfood.com. I like to have a big stop in the middle of the day, around a good meal if possible. Fifteen miles is not exactly […]
