Flagler Beach

I'd like to start this post with some shared insight, armadilloes are
probably the single worst animals at crossing the street in the entire
kingdom. They're worse than hedgehogs. We no longer count miles, we
count fallen armadilloes. We hit St. Augustine around lunchtime
(anywhere between 11 and 3) and settled in for a pretty solid pasta
lunch. As we dragged ourselves up from the seats, the afternoon
tempest descended, and we were "forced" to sit out the sheets of rain
in a local billiard hall. Now I'm not one to make excuses or anything,
but Charles has the uncanny knack to hit his shot, then stand directly
in your sight line. If he keeps it up, I shall make an armadillo of
him. Tomorrow we don't know where we'll end up, we may just putz about
until the afternoon storm and feel good about the 100 miles we rode
today whilst drinking a venti java chip frappacino and doing nothing
at all.

  1. Hi Guys,

    Enjoying the blog. It's hard to believe you have gone over 1,000 miles. Congrats! At least you've been going south so it's been all down hill!!! I'm glad you are enjoying all the local ice cream establishments. Did you see Forest Gump sitting on the bench? Stay cool & enjoy the ride. Keep on Bikin!

    Take care,
    Uncle Gordon

  2. Hi Fellas

    Never thought you'd make it so far.Terrific effort, and obviously quite a bit of fun. Well done.

    Lots of chat about icecream and pasta, nothing about Southern Belles.Too exhausted, I guess. Keep the blogs coming - so entertaining.

  3. Well, contrary to what Edward's father said, it never occured to me you wouldn't cycle all the way! Excellent blogs! Can't believe you're only about 450 miles from Key West!!?? Avoid the armadilloes and alligators....stay cool, etc. Have fun.

  5. seems like you're committing carbocide with all this pasta and ice cream. this will only be very slightly amusing if you've been able to go to the movies lately.
