Day 45

Ponce de Leon, FL to Chattahoochee, FL 73 miles. 1600 ft climbing

So today I found out I’m not invincible. My right quadriceps muscle began to hurt around mid morning and by early afternoon I was having trouble even pedaling with it. I took some Motrin and raised my seat a bit to reduce the pressure a bit and it got a bit better. I still had to nurse it the final 25 miles. Hoping it will be better with some rest tonight and we’ll try going easy on it tomorrow.

Other than that bummer it was a nice day. Leaving our campground it was a bit foggy to start off. So we stopped in town for breakfast.

Our free campsite last night
The Choctawhatchee River
The county courthouse in Marianna. Where my leg started to really be a problem.
The Apalachicola river. We are camping on the far side
The checkin shack at the RV park. Run the the city. $10.95 night for cyclists!
