Easy Rider II, Day 51, Southern Tier, 5/12/22

 

Apalachicola River

It looks like I won’t know what I’m doing tomorrow until early tomorrow morning, unfortunately.


That’s the case because the forecast is for possible thunderstorms  and showers.


If it still looks like rain when I wake up at 5 am, I’ll take a rest day here. If the prospects for rain fade, I’ll ride 84 miles to Live Oak.


After that, I believe it’s two days to St. Augustine.


For much of today, I followed the Adventure Cycling Association’s route through Chattahooche and then on through a series of small towns to Tallahassee.


There were lots of hills today, with 2,581 ft of climbing.


I particularly enjoyed Tallahassee’s bike path, which I rode across the city.


I’m finally back on ET. The time zone changed when I crossed the Apalachicola River.


Thank goodness I had earplugs last night. Because there was a loud party just outside my room.


The lesson I learned is to avoid motel rooms that are close to the stairs, because that’s where the partygoers sit to drink their beers and smoke their cigarettes.


DM: 73.1; TM: 2,806.7; 7:34 hrs rdg; 9.6 mph avg; 2,581 ft climbing
