Day 57 Cross Country Bike Trip
It was a cloudy sunrise this morning, but it made for a comfortable ride on Tobey’s LAST DAY of the bike ride!
His route was on the bike trail most of the way to St. Augustine while I was on the highway. We both went by large agricultural areas, both potatoes and cabbages. The potato furrows are really big. Who knew that Hastings is the potato capital of Florida? Just past Hastings is an unincorporated community called Spuds!
We spent the afternoon doing some chores before heading to a church affiliated with our home church where we will stay tonight.
Our celebration dinner was at Ned’s Southside Kitchen. Not a fancy place, but they had great food and service. Tobey had the fried shrimp and I had the sesame crusted flounder. Both were delicious! The owner was going around talking to everyone and when Tobey told him we were celebrating the end of his ride, he was amazed. He told all of his staff and then said dessert was on the house! Boston cream cake.
Tomorrow we will be sightseeing around St. Augustine.

On the left side of the map, it shows day by day stop and start points so you can look at each day’s route.
OR you can scroll to the bottom of the day-to-day and there is a box that says “Show all on Map”. If you click that, it will change the map view to show all days traveled so far (but be prepared for a short pause as takes a while for the file to load).

Congratulations!! What an experience!
I’ve been following along and really respect your will power to keep pushing through -
winds, headwinds, rain, no shoulders, poor roads, traffic... an amazing feat!
Look forward to hearing some stories from both of you!
