I was riding on Hwy 90 again today, and it was very pleasant and lightly trafficked until I reached Marianna FL, my home for the night.
Sadly, in town the highway’s shoulder disappeared and the last four miles of riding to my hotel were highly unpleasant, to say the least.
Hopefully, the shoulder will reappear on 90 east of town when I head that way in the morning. Or I will need to backtrack several miles to get on the Adventure Cycling Association’s bypass to the north of 90.
Today’s ride started with a pleasant lap around Lake DeFuniak, which is surrounded by Victorian-style houses.
I stopped for lunch at the Holiday restaurant in Bonifay, where the owner told me her 92-year-old mother is still working in the kitchen and baking the pies.
My hotel for tonight—the Baymont by Wyndham at Marianna—will be worth every penny of the $63.12 I am paying for it, if it doesn’t get rowdy and I get a good sleep.
