Monday's Ride

Sorry about the lack of a blog post yesterday. We road 93 miles from Chattahoochee to Itchetucknee Springs Florida where we found we had no cell service at all. No cell service means no internet unless we are able to cheat off someone's unsecured wifi, which we finally found this AM... very very slow connection but enough to post. We promise to upload and caption pictures when we get to Gainesville.

The Springs is a beautiful area and well worth a visit if in Florida. The actual springs are crystal clear and a constant 72 degrees all year long. Despite the chill and wind, both of us took a dip.

So that was our last "long day". It was not a tough day as the wind was mostly at our back. There have been 50 mile days that felt like 100, but yesterday was 93 and it felt like 40. Could it be we are actually getting into shape? Nahhhh.

Today will be a chilly 40 or so miles to Gainesville where we will visit with Joan, Dan and Jacob! Then it is off to Lake Kerr where we might see Marty's sister Lee. Then it is a 55 miler to end it Thursday. Can't believe it.

We will be posting a series of lists of various conditions, people, places, ideas and things we have picked up as we road along in the next day or so. Some of it is actually funny.

All the best

Jake
