Time to Change, Marianna to Quincy, FL

54 miles, 1600' of elevation gain,  84 degrees
  We crossed the Chattahoochee River and with it came our last time zone change into Eastern Time. We can smell the Atlantic Ocean! As we get a day closer, we try to remind each other to ride safe as we are all pretty hot and tired. Mistakes would be really easy to make and so we are reminding each other to drink and be aware of the traffic.
  We are no longer in the middle of no where and so cars, trucks, school buses, are always present. It was a pleasant enough day with an early start and fog like conditions keep the sun at bay for half the morning. Little rollers, heavy treed roads were the order of the day. The person I was riding with and I make good partners as we often do most of the ride without talking with the occasional conversation when a good shoulder is present and not a lot of traffic.
   There was a moment of confusion within 2 miles of the hotel and fortunately she was able to take out her smartypants phone and get a GPS location of us and the hotel so we took the right road. We all arrived at the hotel before the intense afternoon allowing us to seek the cool comfort of the hotel rooms or the pool.
