80miles were planned. Without the little detour we took.
Who would have known that if you follow A1A near Smyrna/FL, one ends up in a cul-de-sac, and have to turn back. In a car you might say, "Argh" on a bicycle you might say, "#!@#%*&!". 10 miles back tracking is not cool. So we followed US1 for the next 60 more miles.
Fortunately weather and wind were on our side. No wind at all, but we were chased by thunderstorms. Thanks to all of our training we were able to outrun them. With Eddie having found his strong side (legs) , we were faster than bullets, and the storm didn't catch up with us. The journey ended after 92miles at the Dolphin Inn. A wonderful little motel at Cocoa Beach with amazing views (see below).. and well, the obligatory dive into cool water.
Two Men, 510 miles (820km), seven days challenge - ONE GOAL. Support our Fundraising efforts for St. Jude Children Hospital.
