54 Miles to Quincy, FL .......

Yay. We're now in Eastern Standard Time. 
My legs felt heavy today when we started our ride (was it because of the humidity, recovering from yesterday's ride or the hills we encountered? Or a combination of the 3?). We did 1309' feet of climbing and here I thought Forida would be flat. I really took my time on the ride because it was relatively short and there's not much going on in Quincy, so no need to rush.
I rode with Gail from Midland, TX. today. She's a retired OB/GYN and has a 24 year old daughter who lives in Los Angeles. Gail's 1st husband is deceased, but she is remarried to Wes, who visited her several times while we were riding through Texas.
I took some pics from a bridge outside Chattahoochee, a town we passed through. We stopped for lunch in Quincy and then were caught in a brief shower on the way to our hotel. It was a nice, relaxing day.

    like you, I thought that Florida was flat.
    here's hoping that it's all downhill from now on.
    happy peddling.

  2. Your picture of Fla.'s rare hill here is pretty, as was the trail through the woods behind water-gun shooter in Mariana, Fla. entry.
