Gina here, at the end of day 3 this final week of the cross-country bike trek. It was a great day today - the weather was in the mid-seventies, the hills were minimal, the road conditions were excellent, there were not too many vehicles on the road, the wind let up early - perfect. Of course, I was driving - the bikers may have a different take on the day! Easy Ridin'.
The gang rode a total of 85 miles today, through the towns of Woodville, Wacissa, Waukeenah, Monticello, Greenville, to our final destination of Madison, Florida. The guys started with a nice 10 mile bike trail south of Tallahassee, and then traveled the back roads of Florida, with varying degrees of hills and headwinds. As Carl passed through Greenville, he detoured past the Ray Charles Memorial which was located in a small city park - apparently Ray Charles spent his formative years in Greenville.
We ate a relatively quick dinner this evening at the local Mexican restaurant, El Carrisal. 'Tis a dry county, so there were no margaritas flowing this evening, much to the dismay of the gang. Fortunately, Corona beer with lime was available and that sufficed. We retired early to get ready for day 4 of the final week.

After eating a quick dinner at a local Mexican restaurant...I'm wondering what tomorrow's blog will be called? Morris less?? When it comes to Mexican food, more is less.
