Panacea - Perry, FL

Daily Route

Daily Elevation
We woke up to 100% humidity with everything outside wet which I guess is what is expected in Florida.  Today is under 60 miles, so should be a nice ride.  We left as scheduled at 9 AM and Patrick got a photo as we took off.

Leaving in the morning
Tim and I was in front of the group and noticed a bicycle trail around mile 11. We hopped on thinking it was only going to last a short time.  We were able to take it all the way to our first stop at mile 14.  After that, everyone got on the trail and it continued on till mile 22.  What a treat to be a bicycle trail for 11 miles.​

Nice bicycle trail
Yesterday I mentioned that there was an oyster bar on the route today.  At the first stop everyone said they were interested in stopping there, so at mile 24 we stopped at Ouzts' Too Oyster Bar and Grill in Crawfordville.  The chef was at the bar preparing horseradish for the oysters and I asked him how they were.  He said they were delicious and offered us each a sample oyster.  They were delicious.  Mary and Jackie shared a dozen and Tim ate his own dozen. ​

Slurping down some oysters
Bill and I each ordered the smoke mullet which was also delicious.
While we were there, a guy at the bar came over and said that he owns a bar in Perry, close to where we were staying.  He gave us a business card and told us that if we stop there we can each get a free beer…my favorite kind of beer.  Thanks!  It was great food and a great time stopping there.  After the oyster bar, the next stop wss scheduled for mile 38.  When we arrived there it was closed…bummer.  At this point we only had 20 miles left.  10 miles later we stopped for a quick breather on the side of the road, and 10 miles later we made it to Rocky’s RV Campground.​

After some relaxing and snacking, everyone took showers after which we figured we should cash in on the free beer.  We all piled into Patrick’s truck and drove the 3 miles to The Wheel House.  When we saw the menu we decided to make it our dinner as well.  The french fries were great.

Dinner out
We arrived back at the camp and Mary found another long-distance cyclist who came by to talk.  He is currently riding from St. Augustine to New Orleans.  In the past, he had ridden around the world for 2 years…wow!
​

Tomorrow is a long day at 80 miles.  We are planning on getting a little earlier start at 8:45 AM, so the alarm is going off 15 minutes earlier than usual.  At this point I guess I don’t really care since we are almost done.  Only 3 riding days left…it is hard to believe.
