Gainesville to Lake Kerr

A great day for the penultimate day of riding. I've wanted to use that word for years which makes it an even better penultimate day. We did 66 miles of which over 20 was on bike trails, which is always nice. It was a very nice day of riding through central Florida's lake country. To top off the penultimate day, my sister Lee was waiting for us at the lake house. We had a great visit, a great dinner and a glass of wine or 5.

This morning Jake successfully threw a line hook and worm into a fish filled lake without so much as a bite. He blamed it on Lee, who had said because of the the full moon the fishing would be bad. He blamed it on the worms which were playing dead and he blamed it on the luck of the Irish, which is probably closest to the real issue.

So, we will shove off at around 1:15 and take our sweet time getting to Palatka where one of Jake's riding buddies will meet us to ride with us the rest of the way in.

Lee will be taking almost all of the rest of our stuff in her vehicle, so this last 55 - 60 should be easy.... oops did we say easy?

See you all soon. We would say more but the excitement of finishing this trip is kind of clogging up the brain.
