Day 49

Alachua, FL to Palatka, FL. 76 miles. 1500 ft. 32 miles to go.

We had our free breakfast at quality inn before heading out. One problem, by the time we got there at 6:30 all of the workers had already eaten and they had not restocked. We ended up with waffles and juice! And coffee of course.

Anyway we headed out by 7:45 and rode on some side roads and then got on bike paths for most of the afternoon. We did see several black snakes on the path and a few alligators off in the distant pond.

I had some quad muscle pain after mile 50 but managed it by going slower and keeping ice on it.

The final 30 tomorrow is mostly flat bike paths.
