Day 42 Fairhope Alabama to Crestview Florida

Day 42  This was not the longest ride, but it seemed tough.  It was 91.8 miles long with 2,198 feet of climb.  The usual ups and downs.  When we started we had the "rumble-bump-road" in Alabama,  but as soon as we got into Florida we had a fairly nice bike lane!  Not perfect, but a real improvement.
This morning when we started it was a bit chilly,  but the views over the bay were very pretty.


As the day went on we got warmer and removed layers.  Here is a group of pictures taken along the way.



Then, we made it into Florida!  This is the last state we bike through!!

By the way, we did see that Idaho Potatoes make it to Florida!  Bob, are these some of yours??
At this restaurant they are sort of natural, but still keep the fare for the folks.
On the road going around Pensacola, the traffic got a bit busy, as you can see here.

So, tomorrow we are at an important decision point.  With the damage from the hurricane, the prediction for heavy rain all day for 6 days, and other things, we have to decide if we either keep going in the showers, or declare victory and retreat.  Let me tell you, having now spent almost half of our biking time in the rain, we don't need more.  We will let you know when we find out!
