Another beautiful coastal ride today. I even took some pictures to share, but where we are staying where there is no internet and there is not much 3g, so I don't even know if this post will go. I will post the pictures later.
It was a great day of riding, but it was rather warm and humid. The weather people are predicting that tomorrow will break a record with 89 degrees for this time of the year. When I finished riding today, I was as wet as when we ride in the rain. As the bike is moving, you don't feel the heat too much, but when you stop, it is suffocating.
We are staying at one of the riders home this evening. It is in Wabasso Beach, Florida. We are just sleeping on our air mattresses on the floor, but it is so nice to have ac and a roof over our heads. Every day the rain storms come and just dump rain. I think that is just the way it is here. The rider's name is Bill Baron, but we all call him by his nickname, Bopee. He is a great man. He has a litttle ADHD or whatever that is called, but he remembers everything and is really quite a hilarious person. He remembers so many trivial things, I am just amazed.
Bopee had some neighbours come and cook us dinner tonight. They grilled ribs and we had baked beans, salad and pie and ice cream. It was a great treat. The people were so kind and really enjoyed cooking for the group.
When we were riding in tonight, there were these blue crabs that were skirting across the road. It was actually quite funny to see because they run across the road with their claws up like they are going to fight off the oncoming cars. They look so fierce, but they lose the battle with the car everytime. Bopee says it is mating season and then you don't see them again until next year.
We traveled 65 miles today and we have about the same to do tomorrow. We have been riding in groups quite a bit in the afternoon because of the winds.
