2017 11-09 Apalachicola to Crawfordville (54.1 miles)

Today started out foggy with a threat of rain in the afternoon.  The rain never came, but the fog prevented us from fully enjoying our last day along the Gulf.  We had a good day of cycling, but not a good day for pictures or memories.  The ride was short, about 44 miles for most of the group, who stopped at the Sopchoppy City Park to camp.  Joe and Tom decided to ride an additional 10 miles and stay in the comfort of a Best Western hotel.  As they past through Sopchoppy, the winds picked up and the sky darkened, the rain was all set to come, but it held back, and all stayed dry.

Yes, we left the Gulf coast behind today, no longer to see the water and all the lovely sights it presented to us these last few days.  There are only about 240 more miles left before we reach St Augustine, and this will take 5 more days of cycling.  The remainder of the trip should be pretty much routine; the sights will be mostly country roads, with occasional patches of civilization thrown in.  No more big climbs, no more water to enjoy (unless we get rain), just a few miles and the trip is over.  Then there will be time to reflect on all we have accomplished since our journey began on September 12^th.
