TOTAL MILES BIKED: 2,896
From the Stoker: Not sure why I didn't post a blog yesterday, maybe just too late and too tired. We biked a new record of 78 miles yesterday from Waukeenah to White Springs (little towns you probably won't find on the map). We enjoyed some more country roads with many old oak trees with spanish moss hanging from them. When you see these trees, you know you are in Florida. I can remember when our kids were young, they thought a dark country road lined with those trees, was spooky. We also took a picture of the famous Suwannee River when we biked over it. That river is the main attraction in this part of Florida with lots of fishing and canoeing.
We camped at a great campground called White Springs Suwannee Valley Campground and they were generous in their support for our MS cause (White Springs, Florida 386-397-1667). They had a cold pool that we enjoyed after a hot day of biking (actually warmer then Lake Michigan).
Day 58 - We biked 63 miles today from White Springs to Gainesville on nice roads, hot weather, and a headwind. The most interesting thing on the ride was a mobile home with there own observatory. The route was great with low traffic roads and most of them with shoulders. We can't ask for more. We are camping at another nice campground with a warmer pool that we couldn't wait to get in to, very hot day today. Normally we are cool while biking making our own windchill, but not today. With just 2 more days, we can handle anything.
You are almost there!! You must be so excited and I'm so proud of you!
