Florida!!!!!

It is Cody yet again.  Dr. Ross has been exhausted after these rides and has been basically going straight to bed upon arrival at our stops.  Yesterday he rode an incredible 150 MILES!!!!  He just kept going and going and going....We crossed the Florida border finally and are past the halfway mark for the trip.  We were pretty excited about that.  Dr. Ross' knee has been bothering him a little here and there but we just make sure he ices it when he stops for a break every now and again and it seems to be working pretty good.  We made our pit stop in St. Augustine, Florida and are now on our way down the coast on the A1A highway.  It has been a beautiful scenic route being right near the ocean on the A1A.  We started again at 4:30 AM and we finished at about 7:15 PM or so last night.  We are excited about meeting with the Boys and Girls club in Coco Beach, Florida and are scheduled to see them at 4 PM today.  You have no idea how badly I just want to pull over and jump into the ocean.  It is sitting right there just calling my name.  I will at some point, this I know.... I know Dr. Ross feels the same way considering I am in an air conditioned car and he is out there in the Sahara Desert heat.  I told him when we get to Key West that he should just ride his bike straight into the ocean.   But he declined, telling me that the salt water is bad for the bike.   But hey, it was worth the try.  Well I am off and running to our next meet up point.   One of us will be sure to blog yet again tonight or tomorrow morning.  Yesterday was probably the least craziest day.  We put in a lot of miles and everything went pretty smoothe.  We are right on schedule to where we wanted to be for the trip so far...Today should make for an interesting day with a lot to talk about when we blog next......Anyways, we will be back soon.......see ya!
