Sunday April 10 - the first day on the bike

Our first day on the bike.  We left St Augustine at about 8:15ish after some pictures on the beach.  Shannon has a really sweet team picture we will get loaded once we have a good Internet connection.  Right now we are using Kyle’s Hotspot from Verizon to make some quick updates. 
We crossed two high bridges and experienced a lot of heat.  The locals say they usually don’t see the low 90’s until August….sweet!!!!!  See, we are special.  J  We had some mild breezes but nothing too bad.  The heat and humidity took the greatest toll on us dry weather boys.
Bill and Dad are doing well with our SAG and directions.  Mom, Sharon and their chauffeur Jerry are doing an excellent job feeding us and being there at the right time when we need a little something more.
I rode about 99 miles yesterday.  I missed out on the last 10 miles as my body said no more.
Shannon and Kyle met someone about 6 miles from the finished and he pulled them in.  Guess what, his name was Carl.  Once we arrived at First Nazarene Church in Gainesville, this
Road Kill:  1 flat armadillo
Meals:  Breakfast – Hotel provided continental breakfast, Lunch – Ham and Swiss and chips, Dinner – Sloppy Joes and baked beans.
