Here are a few photos of my commute home tonight. I had taken a lot more but for some damn reason my phone decided it was only going to keep these two. I'll post some more later.
The other day I was having an exceptionally good commute home from work and started day dreaming about what would happen if I just kept riding. Well, I didn't keep riding but I did get another idea. I thought, "I wonder if I could ride from a Gulf Coast beach to an Atlantic Beach". I practically obsessed over it for a few hours wondering what it would be like, what would go wrong, what route would I take, how long would it take...
That night I mentioned the ride to Theresa and she thought it sounded really exciting. So, We're going to start planning this Florida coast to coast tour. Initially I looked up the straightest route from the gulf coast to the Atlantic coast which would have taken us along the same road for over 90% of the trip. Fortunately my man Karlos, the Naked Indian, is very good at planning routes like these and he's offered to work up a route for us. The only stipulation was that the entire route had to be on pavement. Why all pavement? Theresa will be on a full on road bike, not like my cyclocross bike, and I don't think she'd be too happy riding through sugar sand.
Stay tuned for more details...
