Florida to Maine Bike Trip - Lots To Do - Nine Days Out

Actually, what I'd prefer to do is ride my bike all day, but alas, there is work to be done first! Today I confirmed hotel reservations, made the lists, and scheduled a bike tune up. My feet will likely be my greatest challenge peddling this distance. My feet are not my strong suit!!!! I've a beat up pair of Bontragers which I may beat up a little more - as in cutting them open further than they already are, so my toes aren't as confined. Foot wiggle room seems to help lessen the discomfort, but I also do well peddling for a couple of hours with good shoe support. Tomorrow I hope to get another pair and I'll wear one for a few hours and then switch. My helmet needs to be replaced, something I neglected to do after the accident last year. Too, the bike shop guru suggested a re-fit to the bike, which I thought was an excellent idea. I'll get that done before we leave. The riding weather has been perfect the past few days and I've an order into God to leave that on the menu for the next three weeks! For those who aren't cyclists, this mileage probably sounds horrible, but yesterday's 74 flew by. It truly was a joy cruising along, checking out all the critters on the bike path and having all those hours away from the hustle bustle of everyday life.
