Bike Florida: The Fun Coast Tour

Day 5 - Thursday, March 22, 2007

Daytona Beach to New Smyrna Beach
Miles: 48.94
Avg 16.6 mph, Max 35 mph.

On Thursday we rode from Daytona Beach to New Smyrna Beach.
Tour highlights include Ponce Inlet Marine Center and Historic Lighthouse. Florida's tallest lighthouse.

Rita gets a head start, and I ride with the first 15 miles with the NC boys to the lighthouse.

Me and Florida's tallest lighthouse.
Normally, I would jump at the chance to climb to the top, but we've only gone 15 miles and I have to save my legs.
Today is also the hottest day, and I see someone get really bad vertigo and vomit.

Rita and the lighthouse.

The lighthouse, restaurant.

This little dog blended in a little too well.
This was the place where they had coleslaw wrestling. I am not making this up.

While looking for our B&B and accidentally following Heidi on her century route, I stop and ask these cute boys for some directions.

Bubba drops off our luggage at our B&B. John the inn keeper is not yet in, so I go to town to get some lunch.

John, Sandy, Bonnie and Terry dine alfresco at a really good deli.
I would later join Rita.

A trumpet flower.

While talking to Gina, this snake decided to come out of it's log.

Just a cool plant that lives on this tree.

Bonnie, Diane, Heidi and Rita.
Thanks ladies for driving us to a wonderful dinner.
