Flatsville Florida

Well, we finally had a really really flat day in Florida. 53 miles from Crawfordville FL to Perry FL and just 243 feet of uphill. Didn't really have any turns either. Stayed on Highway 98 the whole day. It was lovely - wide, smooth, clean shoulders. Not much traffic. Wind not an issue. Temps were in the low 20sC and mix of sun & cloud. What wasn't to like? We rode mostly through mixed forests with some swampy ditches, but I didn't see any alligators although rumour has it that one of our riders did. We crossed the Wakulla River, downstream from where we took the boat tour 2 days ago. First picture below is the Wakulla River. Next picture is the St. Mark's River just a few miles later. The third picture was taken in the town of Perry. A few people had bike issues today but their resourcefulness has kept them out of the van. Three days to go!

  1. I'll take a hurricane about now. It's snowing here again.

  2. You missed hurricane season in Florida! Isn't that like going to Rio De Janeiro and missing Mardi Gras?
