Coral Gables, FL > Key Largo, FL : 26 miles It is hard to believe we are in the Keys already and right on schedule! We don’t really have much to write about the ride today. We didn’t get riding until about 2 PM and by then the rain had begun. We spent the morning getting needed repairs done to

Palm Beach, FL > Coral Gables, FL : 76 miles We only rode 76 miles yesterday but we didn’t get into the hotel until 8:30. We had two long spells of rain that we had to sit out, 3 flat tires, one crash (we are all ok), and crazy traffic during rush hour in Miami. All that made for a

Vero Beach, FL > Palm Beach, FL : 93 miles Yesterday was a long day. We started out with a slight tailwind and made incredible time, getting in 50 miles before stopping for lunch.

Charleston, SC > Beaufort, SC: 63 miles Beaufort, SC > Savannah, GA : 48 miles The ride from Charleston to Beaufort was a mixed bag, it was very hot again, the hottest day so far. We also had more headwinds and rumble strips to deal with at the beginning of the ride. The highlight of the ride was some of

Myrtle Beach, SC > Charleston, SC : 90 miles Yesterday’s ride was from Myrtle Beach to Charleston, SC. We started out in Myrtle Beach with a lot of traffic from the weekly rental turnover and more than a few testosterone poisoned youths shouting obscenities at us as they passed by. It is a real shame that so many people have
