We started our journey early yesterday morning by dipping our back wheels in the Atlantic ocean, in Atlantic beach FL. There were pictures and a nice little send off, and then we got a police escort for the first 5 miles!
The day started out great, but after lunch there were some
Thunderstorms and we pulled over to wait out the lightning. (Later we found out there had been tornado warnings all day in Jacksonville.) the storm was a bit of a downer but got worse when we realized that not everyone would make it to camp by dark, and the director wouldn't make his flight home. The night consisted of a lot of chaos and slightly unhappy people. But everyone was safe. We camped and luckily no rain! All together I rode 63 miles. There was no cell signal, so stru for the delay in posting... This may happen often :(.
So far today is good. Nice weather and I'm just pulled over at a rest stop, waiting for some people to keep on riding!
We finished the 76 mile day with only mild pain. My seat us no too comfy yet,.. I'm hoping that will improve! And I had a bit of heat rash, but nothing too bad. Were camping again tonight, and are all looking forward to less bugs, and a meal cooked for us tomorrow!
