Day 2: Cross Florida

[fitterknitter]

When I got up this morning, it was pouring down rain but miraculously, it stopped right before we left. I thought Friday was windy, but Saturday was even worse. I decided to ride in group 3 because I didn't think I could keep up on the hills with group 2. We had a communication breakdown in 3 and I ended up leading one of the 12-mile segments and blocking the wind for everyone. I didn't think about the additional 40 miles I had to go at the time. Fortunately, I felt fine after lunch and rode in groups 4 for a while before joining group 3 again. In spite of 75+ miles of headwind and hills, I still felt great.
See that long, long bridge in the background. We rode over that bridge.
