Today was an 83 mile day but knowing the cue sheet was right made it a mental breeze. We were on a nice bike path for almost 15 miles so we were able to have some quality conversation. After a quick break we found lunch at mile 35. A hot day meant we got a water drop near mile 60. But before we got there I managed to get a flat tire. Jay, Kristina and I got seriously up close and personal as we figured out it takes 3 Bike and Builders to change a flat. We made a couple more stops...got some free ice cream to cool off and enjoyed an awesome view. We ended the ride to the host with a 3 mile long bridge ride and a jump in to the bay. A nice cool shower by hose and a shrimp boil for dinner. Later that night a group of us headed out for oysters because Apalachicola harvests more than 10% of all oysters consumed in the U.S. So I got to try my very first raw oyster. Not half bad.
All in all it was a great day even considering the milage.
And my lunch creation today was called ants on a log Bike and Build style... A hot dog bun, covered in peanut butter and a layer if whatever chips available and last but not least covered with a layer of craisens. Wayyy better than my asiago cheese bagel with peanut butter BBQ chips and blueberries. Haha.
The pictures are from our water stop and the view along our route. :)
