SEVEN MORE DAYS OF CYCLING -


Today I cycled from Pensacola to Crestview, Florida.   Total of 70 miles.  The morning was cool, but afternoon was hot and hilly.  Yes, hills in Florida.  We were out in the country somewhere, --even the driveway into the Hampton Inn had a hill, --we couldn´t believe it.  The photo is of a  RED dirt country road.  Not much else to photograph.   Also  got to ride on a 8 mile paved bike trail.  That was relaxing after being in traffic for 2,000 miles. We even sat on the side of the bike path and ate our lunch.  NICE!!!

QUOTE:"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle." ~Ernest Hemingway
