Perry, FL to High Springs, FL
4/30/18
It was 60 degrees at 7:20 this morning when we left the hotel in Perry. We rode 19 miles to the first SAG stop. The roads were smooth with little traffic but the headwind we fought most the day was a nuisance. The ditches were filled with wild flowers and the fields filled with livestock or crops. Our second SAG was at 40 miles. At 45 miles we rode on the Suwannee River Greenway bike path. It was a nice protection from the headwind for the 7 miles we were on it. At mile 58 we stopped for an energy boost at a convenience store. Mine was a coke. We then entered the Ichetucknee Springs Park. We walked down to see the Blue Hole. The water was beautiful and clear. As we left the park our third SAG stop was waiting for us. We filled our water bottles and headed down the road toward High Springs to finish off our 76 mile day. When we got to town we went across the street from the motel to eat at The Diner. The food was very good. When I checked into the High Springs Country Inn I was happy to have been given a single room. It is nice to have a little space of my own. On a long tour like this I think down time is important to reenergize yourself.
I can't believe there is only 2 more days!!!
