Day 37 - Chattahoochee, FL to Monticello, FL: Pretty north Florida ride
Wednesday May 6, 2009, 85 miles (137 km) - Total so far: 2,819 miles (4,537 km)
Weather: Temperatures were 71-85, winds light and variable out of the west, mostly sunny skies, very humid! I usually think of Florida as either miles of beaches and condos or miles of pine forests and swamps. But this area of Florida is very scenic. It is predominately hardwoods and the terrain is mostly gently rolling hills. Today's route went almost entirely over lonely, winding back roads. The exceptions were a ride through Tallahassee and a nine-mile ride down the Tallahassee-St. Marks Trail. This trail starts in Tallahassee and goes to St Marks on the Gulf of Mexico. We only got to ride a portion of it. It was one of the first rail-trails in the south and is well known among bikers. The ride today was very pleasant. I hope this trend continues. Only three days left!!!
Until later....
