LAST 70 MILER (until the next)

4/28 Weds. High Spring- Palatka, FL 73 miles

Mike’s Methodist prayer group is still praying hard. Last night there was a huge rain storm with rain coming down sideways which gave us today a cool breezy day with NO humidity and 10 degrees cooler than yesterday for our last 70+ mile day. Katie had a flat at about 15 miles which Team Sweep took care of in no time! Not only are we getting faster we know a thing or two about bike repair. Lovely country roads in the morning, busy SR 100 in the afternoon with bumpy shoulders and MORE MORE MORE logging trucks. But we made it, gliding into the Palatka Best Western with a big welcome sign just for us. Linda outdid herself yet again with her final dinner, appetizers, beef tenderloin you could cut with a fork (with 3 sauces) caramelized pearl onions and crepes with cherry sauce and creme anglais. Foo, Ron , Deb and Johnnie Boy arrived in St Augustine this afternoon and are partying in anticipation of my arrival. It's almost over- so many more things to say- but not for now
