We rode from Tallahassee to Lake City, going through Monticello, Greenville, Madison, Lee, Ellaville Junction, Falmouth, Suwannee, Live Oak, and Wellborn for 107 miles and 2856 feet of bicycling elevation gain. Route 90 to Monticello was picturesque for most of the 22 miles, with trees lining both sides of the road, including Spanish moss. In the city of Monticello, also the county seat, the courthouse was modeled in 1909 to be like Jefferson’s Monticello, designed with four similar faces. The route 90 east of Monticello was not as “culturalized” as the segment from Tallahassee, but naturally attractive with big trees setback from each side of the road. Some of trees were so big, like you see on the main drive of Savanah. We were happy to be behind the storm system passed in front of us for the day and the winds were gentle for the most part. Cousin Duffy graciously permitted me take the lead for most of this ride. We plan to finish in St. Augustine on October 28.
