Florida Lounging

Posted on by

Linda and I are finishing up the golf-centric portion of our Florida road trip.  For me, the focus will very soon turn to our Natchez Trace Tour.

It would have been preferable to experience the bike tour up front. As it is, we’ve been golfing and eating and lounging at Waldorf Astorias and Four Seasons. I have a feeling that tent camping will be quite the contrast.

I’ve managed 2 meager rides here in Florida: one as part of an SUV tire replacement process in Palm Beach Gardens, and the other a 25 mile unloaded spin from PGA National resort to the Four Seasons in Palm Beach, which retraced along the A1A route Jack and I took last year.  Other than that, various fitness room spin machines are about as much preparation as I’m getting.

I met a super friendly guy here at the Four Seasons who is avid about cycling, interested in touring.  Together we spent some fine minutes talking gear. His enthusiasm is great and buoys my own.

Can’t wait to get started, but it is going to be interesting this time around.
