Twenty-Four Miles in the saddle. That's right sports fans, we rode 1 mile south, to milepost 48, to pick up some bike parts from the bicycle shop and then headed north to milepost 60. That's milepost 48 to milepost 60, 12 miles one way.
Along the way, we met a 69 year old gentleman who told us he does 30 to 40 miles a day or about 200 to 300 miles a week. His regime is to ride 8 days and then take the ninth day off. On his 70th birthday, he plans to ride from his home in Willmington, NC to Houston, TX to visit his son and grandchildren. All we could say was, "Happy Birthday."
Our ride took us to the Grassy Key RV Park. Although small, the place is very well kept and has all the resort amenities an RV'er could require, including a scenic waterfront, a heated pool and a club house. Most of the rigs were very large motor coaches however, there was a fair representation of fifth wheel trailers.
On our way back, we met up with John. He and Honey arrived last Friday after a nice holiday break.
Tonight's movie was "Public Enemy #1" starring Johnny Depp as John Dillenger.
