Good Evening All, A very cool morning here in Florida. The temp this morning 38° and windy. Went in a boat house for coffee. By 11 am warm enough to ride into town to do laundry. After the laundry was done dropped it off at camp then road back into town to site see a bit. After visiting the Fort in St Mark's stopped in at Riverside Cafe for lunch. I had a burger for the first time in a long time. Trisha had the shrimp for lunch also good. After lunch rode back to camp. I did some fishing and Trisha did some reading. The lady here gVe me a little fishing pole the pocket fisherman. Caught the 8lb large mouth bass on it. Today caught a small large mouth bass on it maybe 2 lbs. Hooked a couple other fish but they broke my line. Also caught a catfish tonight. Overall a good day of fishing. Tomorrow will be our last day here. Saturday morning heading to Tallahassee for my flight home. Looking forward to seeing Pam and my family!!! Will try and post a couple pictures. ...
Good Evening All, Today we leave Shell Island Fish Camp. Trisha and I spent 4 nights here and we had a great time! We biked each day not far but keeping our legs conditioned. This morning had our coffee and I had a muffin with peanut butter on it. Trisha had oatmeal she made but put to much water in it. Liquid oatmeal so she threw it away. We loaded up and headed out for Tallahassee. Today was only a 20 mile ride. Weather was great slight wind in our face but nothing to hold us back. We get into town and going up a hill so I was down shifting and my derailleur broke and twisted all up. Unloaded my fear from the back rack so I could take chain off so I could push my bike the last mile and a half. Lucky for me the ace I'm staying is a bike shop. They will fix my bike while I come home. They will have 12 days to get parts in and fixed. Should be no problem. Jerry Reynolds came to pick Trisha up and Trisha took us to lunch at Red Robin. Had a great burger there. Came back to bike s...
Day 7 of riding on my journey. Left Andy and Mary's place after a good night's rest. Said goodbyes and on the road around 8am. Rode about 10 miles and stopped for coffee and sandwich at Hardee's. Weather is beautiful only riding 30 miles today to give me some recoup time. Meet up with a gentleman and we rode together for 4 or so miles into downtown Indianapolis. It was nice riding with someone and talking along the way. Riding by a Army National Guard post a car cut in front of me and just missed me! I had to slam on my brakes the bike started to slide sideways and I was able to get my feet out before the bike went down. The scrapes on my leg is from my pedal coming back and hit it. There was another vehicle there and the driver got out to see if I was alright ! I said I was and he was saying that the driver was definitely at fault and he apologizedid for the other driver. All is well just a couple scrapes and sometime to calm my nerves and finished my ride of 30 mile...
