78 miles, flat, 97 hot humid degrees with a head wind.
Yes, 78 miles is now considered a relatively short day but it didn't seem like it for the second half of the ride. The terrain was flat and repetitive with farms and forests, but with a head wind all day and the hot humid weather, all of us were soaked with sweet and just trying to get the ride over with. We did go to Ichetucknee Springs for a change of pace. This area of Florida has countless springs which my husband and I use to cave dive and they are incredibly clear and blue reminding me of the Caribbean. Some of the group went skinny dipping in the furthest pool from the parking lot and cooled off while the rest just enjoyed having a picnic by the springs.
One last mom and pop hotel this evening with fully functioning AC. Thank goodness. Chef Linda did another wow meal. Makes the whole day worth it.
