We just about had another mutiny on our hands this morning. When we woke, it looked like the wind was going to be blowing quite hard today and there was also a tornado warning issued for the area. The storm causing the tornado warning had actually passed to the north, but many in the group were thinking we should wait another day to go. I really wasn’t part of that group. We have one more day of rest and I hated to give that up as we would have no wiggle room for the rest of the trip and I knew a day off in a few days will be needed. Dave, our leader, made the decision to ride and just see how we do and it turned out to be a great day. We rode many beaches today such as Beverly Beach, Crescent Beach, Flagler Beach and we are spending the night close to Daytona Beach. It was absolutely beautiful riding. Much of the way, the ocean was on one side of the road and houses on the other and the sun was shining on the ocean just right and it was just enjoyable.
There is a lot of wealth along this coast. We end up riding in some areas that the houses are just amazing. I imagine that many people come here for the winters. Much of the riding is on islands that border the Atlantic on one side and have a river channel running along the other. These homes have boat houses on the river side and they have these huge boats out back and all. I am enjoying Florida. The scenery is more tropical than we have seen in the past and I have enjoyed the palm trees and all.
Getting ready today in the hostel
