2/24 Great day today. Started off good and ended even better. Woke up early and headed over to grab some food. I pulled up to The Lemon Tree and just finished getting my bike secured when 2 women and an older guy came over and started to chat. After a few minutes they left so I went inside to order breakfast. I went to pay only to find out that the guy had already covered me. Wasn’t expecting that. I didn’t even get to say thanks.
The wind finally shifted from the North to the North-East so I didn’t have the wind in my face all day. It’s getting a bit cold out now though. I’ll probably regret saying this but I actually like climbing up the few hills I’ve run into so far. Oh and there was this crazy hot girl with legs that went all the way up to heaven riding ahead of me just past Sebastian Inlet State Park. It was then that I realized that going fast to catch up with a beautiful girl while riding a 145 lb bike isn’t a great idea. It was even worse when she didn’t speak much English and I was wheezing so hard she probably didn’t understand me anyway. A love connection just wasn’t happening. She seemed very nice though.
Pulled into Wickham Park after doing 49 miles today. The Park Rangers here are really cool BTW. As I was giving them $18 for the night they told me about a German woman in the camp right next to mine who has been riding around North America on a recumbent bike. Nice. So I pedaled over here and met Meg (short for something much longer). She doing a Florida loop which started in Miami and is heading up North the same way I am. She also ran into some unfriendly staff at Long Point State Park. The park was full so the guy there actually told her she should just find a motel. She’s riding alone in a foreign country without any support which is way more than that loser has ever done.
So she offered to let me ride her bike… let’s just say that I’m glad she was holding on to the back the whole time.
Anyway, no WIFI for me tonight so I’ll upload this in the morning. Stats for today (using Windows Live Writer for offline mode so no Custom Field support):

Keep it up bro. You be out of Florida in no time. The stories are awesome
Quit looking at the women and keep your eye on the road! I’m so proud of you Scott. Be safe.
ya keep your eyes on the road buddy or you’ll fall off that bike!!
I’ve enjoyed the pictures you’ve posted so far of interesting places along the way, but pictures of a “crazy hot girl with legs that went all the way up to heaven” would also be appreciated. Thanks and good luck.
Hey man, glad to hear you’re doing well. For some reason I was listing to Dwight Yoakam (don’t ask), however the song was “A Thousand Miles from Nowhereâ€. You should try and download it, I think you’ll relate.
