A great day. 60 miles of riding in the heat and sun, getting in as early as 1pm. The first 20 miles or so was on a Miami Busway, which was basically a completely flat and straight road with no cars allowed, only buses; other than the stop lights there was nothing to impede our progress. Then after that was another 20 miles to Key Largo on the straightest and flattest highway ever. So basically the riding was easy but also a bit, as Rob would say, “tedious”. Sully drove over a knife blade and destroyed Tomorrow is only 39 miles, so several of us (Carla, Dan, Richard, Paul and I) took Ubers down to a beach and public park where they also had food carts and several 80s cover bands who entertained us for hours. I got to “swim” in some very warm and very shallow water. Apparently there are few if any natural beaches here because of the coral reefs and the few beaches that exist are largely private. We ate some donuts and talked to some locals and played some dice. There was also fish sandwiches with Rob at Captain Craig’s across the street from the church, and a shuttle to a local gym for amazing showers. Today really felt like a genuine Bike the US for MS day.
