Only one picture today - taken on the rail trail.

Another one of those days where we had to pay attention to the cue sheet. About 30 instructions to travel 67 miles from Pensacola FL to Crestview FL. It was also a day of extremes. The first 25 miles was spent getting out of Pensacola and then travelling through continuous civilization. We went from some pretty downtrodden neighbourhoods in Pensacola to some very upscale housing in the outlying suburbs. We even saw one gaudy yard littered with golden statues and two gold & white Rolls Royces in the driveway. We enjoyed a brief stretch along the waterfront but the fog limited our view. From continuous civilization we moved to a 6.5 mile stretch on the Blackwater Rail Trail and from there to 15 miles of "Deliverance" countryside. Unlike most days where I ride on my own but frequently meet up with others, I barely saw anyone else today. Even our SAG driver got lost and I didn't see her. Not to worry, though. It was a good ride; dare I say even a bit of tailwind. Oh - and if you think Florida is entirely flat, it ain't. Over 2000 feet of climbing today. Temps were from about 20C to 30C with a bit of humidity. A bit of sunshine and a bit of cloud.

Remember when we rode Vermont. I bought a shirt that said "Vermont Ain't Flat"......and it ain't. I seem to remember spending a bit of time in the Van!
ReplyDeleteYes, I've thought of that trip many times. That's the last time I was in the van. I hope I can keep it that way.
ReplyDeleteI figured that you'd not been in the van - a matter of pride I expect...
ReplyDeleteHope you get better weather/conditions tomorrow! And an easier to follow route!
