Got on the road from Homestead FL around 9am. The beginning of the ride went great! Got out 10 mile or so stopped at a marina to get coffee or water and they had nothing.  A couple walking Trisha talked with and they gave us 6 bottle waters!! Thank Louis and Marva. Not sure about her name but super nice people. There stay on a boat for the weekend. About 15 miles in starting to feel I'll. We rode a few more miles and Trisha had a flat tire. She did make it to a gas station. Pam and I got there and my stomach was hurting pretty bad. Was able to get her tire changed before I got the dry heaves! We ended up there close to an hour. Felt good enough to go the last 4-5 miles. Trisha is a strong rider then Pam. I am very much out of shape!! Made it to John Pennekamp state park. When the girls got here they said it was all booked up. Told them they should of made reservations! Trisha and Pam both told them they tried but was told could not make reservations in advance.  All said and done the let us stay at there overflow area. Showers close but no electricity.  So we got our tent up and Trisha went for a swim. Pammade me a couple wraps to eat the went to the showers. Finishing up my blog so I can finish unpacking and take a shower.
Good night
God Bless

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.

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
