Day 4 March 23 Madison to Tallahassee

Posted byKathy SchroederPosted inUncategorized

58.7 miles, 1527’ doesn’t sound difficult but started late at 915am after nice B&B breakfast, so ended with 85 degree temps and some varied headwind all day. Wish I could figure out my eating! Stomach aches has been the bane of my challenging cycling for years. Now in the capital of FL – one of the bigger cities we will cycle through – home to Florida State and also the Seminole tribe which is known as unconquered people who never signed a peace treaty.

I have each state’s motto on my bike
as I cycle through
An addition to my bike kit this TransAm is a very small but loud air horn to deter any chasing dogs! 🤞In the past my screaming worked (with a subsequent sore throat for awhile) and/or squirt from the precious contents of my water bottle.
FL roads have been great so far (rumble strips are parallel to or on the white line & not perpendicular to an already narrow shoulder and no frost heaves!) FL drivers have also been great! 😊
RC!! 🎶 Didn’t know you’re hometown was a tiny place in north central FL – Greenville
Spring bloom
Live oaks and Spanish moss still abundant
Luxury of a support vehicle to carry implements of recovery!
