Southern Tier Day #12 Dauphin Island, AL to Ocean City, MS

Southern Tier Day #12 April 9, 2021 Dauphin Island, AL to Ocean City, MS  63 Miles Start 9:05 AM  Finish 4:48 AM  Ride Time 5:56 Ascent 227 Feet Descent 180 Feet Tour Total 734 Miles Details at: https://cyclemeter.com/3f1ef27914a4c684/Cycle-20210409-0904-22456 Last night while coming back from the restaurant in pitch darkness because my lights were being charged back at the room, we got a wagon tire flat about a block from the hotel. I brought the wheel into my room and attempted to fix it with a patch and new tire. I realized that the Schwalbe tires I had purchased in Tallahassee were the wrong size. They were 16” x 1.35” but the inner diameter was too big to fit on the rim. The old tire had worn through, and I now had a problem. I patched the tube and fit boots into the worn areas. I pumped up the tire and got ready for bed. I didn’t know if the tire would make it to the final destination, about 50 miles away. I slept fairly well in room two of the Dolphin Island Harbor House B&B

Southern Tier Day #7 April 4, 2021 Marianna, FL to DeFuniak Springs, FL 65 Miles Start 7:39 AM   Finish 4:49 PM   Ride Time 6:37 Ascent 889 Feet Descent 721 Feet Tour Total 493 Miles Details at: https://cyclemeter.com/3f1ef27914a4c684/Cycle-20210404-0739-62926 I slept great last night at Florida Caverns RV Park & Campground. We went to bed early and slept for a long time. I woke up at 6:30 AM Central and it was cold out. There was quite a bit of condensation and the tent fly was completely soaked. My clothes, that had been left on the line, were damp and cold. It was a deliberate slow pack-up. We were now in Central Time, and it would be an easier day today. I was finally feeling that I had the itinerary under control. Blanka was constipated this morning but she kept in her big dinner from last night, and there was no whining during the night. She enjoyed the campground, and she was extremely well behaved. She relished laying in the grass and listening to the sounds. I lost a denta

Southern Tier Day #1 March 29, 2021 St. Augustine, FL to  Hawthorne, FL - 72 Miles Start 8:51 AM Finish 8:43 PM Ride Time: 7:21:14 Ascent: 398 feet Descent: 244 feet Tour Total 72 Miles Details at: https://cyclemeter.com/3f1ef27914a4c684/Cycle-20210329-0851-30020 I slept well in St. Augustine. I stayed at the Days Inn on Ponce de Leon Avenue, right across the street from the Fountain of Youth. I woke up at 7am and was at the rental car place shortly after 7:30. It was in the mid-60's and overcast as I cycled back to the hotel. The sun was out by the time we were set up and ready to roll. It was such a relief to be free of the rental car and hotel. I was wearing my short sleeve jersey and cycling shorts. I almost wore my sweater but changed my mind at the last moment. The route began just south of the fort at a historic block where stood the Cathedral Basilica of St Augustine, Flagler College, and the Lightner Museum. The architecture was extremely ornate and I felt like I was in Sp
