Today is a 76 mile ride to Live Oak. Unfortunately, we experienced some inclement weather in Tallahassee. Ironically, last night Bubba handed out black t-shirts that say we survived coast 2 coast with strong winds, steep hills, heavy rain, sleet, hail, snow and freezing temperatures. What it doesn't mention is we also survived two tornado warnings (Dauphin Island & Tallahassee). Adrian also survived a close call with a motorist driving on the shoulder at 55 mph, but luckily saw the car coming and went into the ditch.
Tomorrow we cycle 80 miles to Gainesville. We arrive in St Augustine on Monday where it will be 77 degrees and sunny.
I'm going to take a guess and say that Henry had a great tailwind riding after the storm passed. I checked local radar and about the time we were getting hammered, it looked like the storm had passed by you. So glad that the tornado missed your group's lodging location! I have thoroughly enjoyed following your blog this year. I hope that someday we all get to ride together once again!
ReplyDeleteStrong south crosswind. The weather looks great for the rest of the trip.
