Happy Birthday to Rita!

Flagler to Daytona Beach
Miles: 50.14
Ride Time: 3:20:50, Max speed 26 mph, 102 rpm, 14.9 avg

On Tuesday we rode from Bulow Plantation to Flagler Beach and then on to the bustling city of Daytona Beach.
 


Rita and I wear our matching Hawaii jerseys.


Susan and Jerry figure out a 'shortcut' to catch the ride from our hotel.


It's very nice that these guys are here; but they look bored out of their minds.


Paulette and her husband from Bike Florida 2005.
I really like their jerseys from Cycle Zydeco in New Orleans and add it to my lists of rides to do.


Beach flower at Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area.


Self-timer along the Atlantic.


Notice the red sand. Not really sand, but tiny red rocks that stick to your skin.


 


These pelicans were showing off and giving quite a display of how to do a proper paceline.


Close-up.


 


 


Not a good place to go for a swim.


Highbridge Road, Tomoka State Park. Scenic Highway.



I almost forgot about being allergic to Florida grass beside the road.
Snapped this photo, got a little itchy and left before any weed bugs could get me.


PB&J.
Peanut, peanut butter & jelly. Spread!


Daytona Beach.


Just a silly photo at the Jackie Robinson Park.


Daytona has a lot of bridges.


Good photo taken by Crystal.


Close-up of the big bridge.


Having fun with the self-timer.
My bike seat made a good table for the camera.


This was a really good lunch place (Avocado's) recommended by the lady at the rest stop.


John and Sandy show up just in time for a photo.


Diane; hard at work.


Ah, a massage for a hard days work. Hey, I'm on vacation!
Thanks, Heidi for taking a cute photo.

I meet Rita at our hotel. I arrive in time for a pizza snack with Jerry and Susan and Rita. Later we eat a Japanese dinner across the street and do some shopping at K-mart.


Take me to Day 4.
