The title refers to the “Good Neighbor trail” you see, because it was much tougher rhyming something with the trail “Withlacoochee”. Of course all you readers will now chime in and post a bunch of comments for Withlacoochee rhymin’. But hey, I love your comments, interacting is fun, as I’m enjoying writing this journal for everyone.

9 miles in I am riding through Keystone Park with trees for a view
25 miles in and 45 to go, I stopped at a rest stop I stopped at two days ago. Two people I meet there ask me how far I’m riding today.

The sun shown at full strength. It was quite strong. I was getting tired at this point as my ride today was long. I took a break at mile 60 though the end was near and chatted with another rider riding a fixed gear. Another rider joined us and found out something not well known. We all worked in the tire industry - TireHub, BF Goodrich, and Firestone.

2 o’clock I rolled into the Microtel to get the front desk assistant I rang the bell. Not many choices for dinner on this exit from interstate 75 if I wanted something other than Burger King I’d probably have to take a drive. Well, certainly not a meal showstopper, I think I could make a dinner out of fries and a Whopper.
