It's my annual winter ride in Florida! The first day's headwinds abated overnight, but the threat of rain hung over my ride. Would I have to bail out on the short version, or would my energy and dry conditions allow for testing the newer, way more fun route?

STATISTICS Chicken encounters 2 Day old sandwiches eaten 1/2 (I finished the other half the next day -wasn't bad!) Gallons of water wasted by that dumb developer - seriously, hundreds of thousands. It was gross. 55+ resorts soon to gate off my route 1 New roads that will be better anyways 1 Disney World No Trespassing signs I leaned my bike against for a pic 1 Pineapple celebration drinks imbibed at the end 1 Miles biked 55 Flats 0
