Day 6-it just keeps going on

Today was a very nice day-started out at almost 70 degrees-I didn't need a blanket last night, and opened the windows as soon as I got up.

Slept until 6:45 this morning-latest I've slept since I started this trip.  Felt good to wake up to daylight for a change, instead of having to wait for it.

Breakfast over early today, I wanted to get out on the bike in a different direction.  I turned right out of the campground and hit a headwind.   I never really knew what cyclists were talking about when they said they were riding into a headwind.  Oh sure, I know what a headwind is-I've hit them plenty of times.   I just didn't know how much it affected a person on a bike.  I was counting on those winds to get me flying on the way back-again I was wrong.  Dang wind died just as I started back. Oh well..

I didn't really go very far today.  After yesterday, my legs were toast-butt wasn't a whole lot better, but actually, I wasn't nearly as sore as I thought I would be.  That may happen tomorrow.

I rode almost to where I had gone yesterday-didn't know that until I got back and looked at the map though.  Since I was going in a different direction, didn't even think about it.  But, when riding on a tiny island, it doesn't take long to get to a specific spot, no matter which way you travel.

It was a fun day, nothing big happened, and nothing broke today.  I did splash grease on my belly when cooking supper, but with a belly like mine, that's to be expected!  It was still a fun day though, and one I will never forget-day 2 of biking!


                                                                        Not for me!

I leave tomorrow for Waycross, GA, and the Okefenokee Swamp area.  It could be that I will have a story to tell about that place-I'm spending two nights there.  Already have reservations at a camp site.  We will just have to see how it goes.

Until tomorrow, keep the rubber side down and enjoy life-it only comes around once!
