Lake City to Perry

After yesterday's crazy mileage I was strangely psyched to see today's mileage was only 70. The cue sheet was right the whole day which makes the mental game a whole lot easier. Around mile 15 Allison (with whom I was riding) and I saw a sign for blueberries. When we pulled off we saw tons of other riders already stopped. The owner had agreed to give us 20 free pounds. We ran out of time and only picked about 15 lbs but I can assure you that way more than 5 lbs went in our bellies.

Even though we had 70 miles today we kept a slow steady pace and it was NBD after yesterday. The temperature rose into the 90's which would usually mean second lunch which we didn't get organized but we did get a second water drop which was great. I've drank well over 300 oz of fluids today.

One of our leaders found a kitten on the side of the road and decided to pick it up and bring it along in his jersey. We've named it Maxwell but we're hoping someone in Perry will adopt it. We are not exactly in a position to accept a team cat. Haha

God day overall and tomorrow we have a pretty short day to Tallahassee which will give all our butts a nice break of sorts.
