We rode from Marianna to Tallahassee against some of our strongest headwinds of the trip for 72 miles and 2511 feet of bicycling elevation gain. On our way to the capital city we “stepped foot” in Georgia for a moment to add another state to our list of travels. When we arrived in Tallahassee, we rode past a stadium of cheering FSU fans during homecoming weekend. We were able to ride through a good part of the FSU campus (as part of our biking route); it is big. Their Legacy Walk was lined with trees on both sides. We have yet to see the capitol building. Our day consisted of wind and riding up and down hills, both outside and inside the city. Do not let anyone tell you that all of Florida is flat, as they just need to travel to Tallahassee. We stopped at a few places to eat last night. Our clerk at our hotel, Genevieve, and one of our waitresses, Jess, were both FSU students, and hard workers, of course. Cousin Duffy has a lot of energy when he gets off the bike and it can be a challenge for me to keep up with him, then get up in the morning. We capped off the night with a swim.
Our next day we plan to pedal route 90 as far as we can. We figure we may have three days left of riding to the Atlantic Ocean.
