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...

Southern Tier Day #2 March 30, 2021 Hawthorne, FL to Ichetucknee State Park, FL - 64 Miles Start 8:40 AM Finish 5:17 PM Ride Time 6:59 Ascent 486 Feet Descent 537 Feet Tour Total 136 Miles Details at: https://cyclemeter.com/3f1ef27914a4c684/Cycle-20210330-0739-08444 I slept fairly well stealth camping alongside the Gainesville-Hawthorn State Trail. I woke up a few times when I realized that Blanka was standing up looking at the wall of the tent. I figured something was probably out there, and I tried to settle her. She slept by my feet and then alongside me. There was a light rain shower at 5 AM.  I had set my alarm for 7 AM because I didn’t want to get caught. Yesterday I passed a Florida prisoner chain gang and I didn't want to be part of one. My fly was wet from the rain and had to be folded and stowed under my rear rack pack. Blanka watched me pack from a hundred feet down the trail, and appeared to be raring to go. I was wearing my cycling shorts, short sleeve jersey, and swea...

Southern Tier Day #10 April 7, 2021 Pensacola, FL to Gulf State Park, AL 39 Miles Start 9:27 AM   Finish 5:33 PM   Ride Time 4:17 Ascent 108 Feet Descent 150 Feet Tour Total 634 Miles Details at: https://cyclemeter.com/3f1ef27914a4c684/Cycle-20210407-0927-15404 I slept well at the Days Inn in room 354. Blanka slept with me, and her soft furry body is a delight to cuddle to. I had weird cycling dreams and woke up at 6 AM. I rolled over for another hour. Before leaving the room I took advantage of the WiFi and did some grading. I brought the rig down to the parking lot and loaded everything up. We rode back down Palafox Street to the park so that Blanka could do her business. The Pensacola   historic district was beautiful and reminded me of New Orleans. We criss-crossed the historic center and basically covered the same ground as yesterday’s walk. We rode back to Coffee Cup for breakfast. The server remembered Blanka from yesterday and her vomiting episode. There weren’t e...
