Last state line crossing!

Our ride today started with a 45 minute ferry ride from Dauphin Island to the Alabama shore. The rest of the ride we hugged the coast, crossing into Florida and ending up in Pensacola for the night. The roads were excellent....most of the route either had a dedicated bike lane or a smooth shoulder. Although there was a headwind most of the day it didn't seem like much of a factor. Pleasant riding. Stopped in at a bike shop on the way into town for a little preventative maintenance on my bicycle (clean and lube the drive train, adjust the brakes, check things over) for which I was charged $7.53!!! I really thought I had misheard the guy. So I should be good to go until St. Augustine. All and all my 18 year old, much travelled and much loved touring bicycle has performed really well. Happy about that!
