Day 56 - April 21, 2010 - Coast to Coast

TOTAL MILES BIKED: 2,755

From the Captain:
After the rain last night, we had to drive back to pick up the route where we exited yesterday. The temperature had cooled, sun was warm and the winds light. We had to head into Tallahassee, which we had been warned was really difficult and unsafe. We found just the opposite. The city is very bike friendly and we had bike lanes almost all the way. The only negative was that I couldn't find a doughnut shop. Half way thru the city we picked up a super bike path that we were able to ride for almost 12 miles. It was one of those rails-to-trails path and was great to ride....quiet and no traffic. We could really look around and enjoy the ride.
The ride was thru the country side with winding roads and a few hills. We got into the campground early, putting in 58 miles, so we were able to rest, do laundry, etc.
Tomorrow, our campsite that we planned on is full, so we are going to be doing another long day.

From the Stoker: The Captain forgot to mention that our support driver found a donut shop and had a big apple fritter waiting for him when we met her along the route.
