The third best thing about bicycle touring for us is the people we meet.  Last summer on the Erie Canalway, we met Francie and Ken  from Bellingham, Washington  on their tandem.  We stopped and talked for a few minutes and told them that if they ever wanted to bike in Florida, we could give them some good route ideas.  We were happily surprised to hear from them a few months later.  They asked about Florida routes, we replied with an offer to ride with them if they were interested in having some company.  They were, so we are off on a coast to coast tour of north Florida.  This is the route we plan to follow.  We'll have twelve riding days and two days off the bikes.  JS
