to Pensacola 24 Feb

February 24, 2025

The rain stopped during the night, but everything was wet. I stuck to bagel and cream cheese and peanut butter sandwich for breakfast.

Yesterday, I mentioned that the GPS was discharged in the morning. I kept it in the sleeping bag last night where it was warmer, and it had a charge this morning. I will let you know if it is temperature dependent.

Pretty nice ride to Eglin AFB, but then the roads got busy and were roughly paved. It was a mix of very good and very bad. We had some really great sections off US 98 along the shore in Miramar Beach and Navarre Beach and then into Gulf Shores National Seashore. We also had long stretches of multi-lane high-speed traffic.

This was the first day I did not wear tights. We should have some warm days ahead.

I went to St Vincent De Paul to get a replacement plate and a bowl. My plate had a crack in it which was growing. Everyone had their tents out to dry after arriving at the Days Inn.

This is our last full day in Florida. Tomorrow we enter Alabama.

Today's ride: 71 miles (114 km)
Total: 548 miles (882 km)
