Day 44

North pennsicola, FL to Ponce De Leon, Fl. 90 miles. 1800 ft climbing.

News alert; the Florida panhandle is not flat like central Florida. It’s basically south Alabama. We did rolling hills most of the day but had a tailwind which made the 90 miles easier. We also were able to get on the road by 7:30.

We also were on the Blackwater bicycle trail for a while along with some back country roads which was a nice respite from the busy route 90. We will be following 90 most of the way to the end of tbe route. 90 is an official bike route in the highway system so it has a wide shoulder for bikes.

The RV park we are at is no cost! I called ahead and the manager, Tommy, said that cyclists are free. It’s not the most deluxe but had decent showers.

The visitor depot on the rail to trail path we were on in the morning. Blackwater River.
The typical experience we are having on route 90. Nice shoulder but often a lot of traffic!
You know it’s a good day when the nail you run over doesn’t cause a flat
On the quiet country road we were on in the morning
