69 MILES  13 MPH  5:20 BTIME  6:00-2:00 GOOD & BAD

Left at 6:00-A1A-pass several  beaches-wg setting good pace-15-16 mph. Scenic w/good bike lane-easy  biking. Donuts & ch milk again at Jacksonville Beach-40 m. Took ferry at Mayport-like boats. Leave wg to take nice bike trail w/trees-met guy out doing a century-told us about construction ahead. Now very hot-OR’s speedometer shows temp-100.  Very little shade-pull over several times-call wg-found motel. Now at fruit stand eating peaches. 18 wheeler full of watermelons shows up-overweight-tries to sell her some. Now we hit massive construction-OR goes off to sand-almost fall off bike-have to walk. Saw more big trucks today than on whole trip-back on road. Several miles of feeling like we could be run over anytime. So glad to see Nassau Holiday Motel-$50-clean. Clean up & go to family buffet-eat a lot for $9.00. Hour later thunder, lightning-massive rain storm-go out on porch to watch. I HAVE WASTED HRS & HRS TRYING TO PUT PICTURES ON BLOG😢😢😢😢

I LIKE FERRYS.
OR, SI SI & me

Construction was terrible.
Had to walk my bike-sand
