Kind of an uneventful day today. We rode much on the outer banks of Florida and rode past many vacation and winter condos. There looks like there are many available for sale if any of you are interested.
The night at Bopee’s was nice. There were no bugs and it was cool. With everyone sleeping in the same rooms, I had to sleep with the earplugs. We have plenty of snorers in the group.
We are in a state park this evening and the weather right now is surprisingly cool. We have a pretty good wind blowing and the bugs are horrible. They have these little no see ums here and they just bite like crazy. The off I brought doesn’t seem to work against them. They have plenty of mosquitos too. Bopee told us that there are no mosquitos, or very little, in Florida, but so far, he is wrong. I need to get this written and get in my tent where I will be safe.
Everyone’s bike seems to be stressed to the breaking point. I wrote a few days back about our tour leader’s bike frame cracking and we have had numerous wheels that have come out of true and yesterday Selwyn from New Zealand’s wheel cracked and he had to get a new wheel. It is a good thing that bike shops are all over the place. It seems like we are keeping the bike shops busy. I hate to say anthing about my bike. It might bring the bad luck. Other than flats, I have been doing ok.
Today’s weather turned out to be a nice day. It was a little warm, but it was clear skies and beautiful all day. We rode 68 miles and are just outside of Jupiter, FL.
The beautiful beach. I really haven't had any desire to get in, but the water still is quite warm. I just don't like the idea of sand in my britches when I again have to ride.
