Hot First Day

First of all I talked to a supervisor at Apple last night only to find out that I can't import photos to this blog because the iPad lacks the needed c drive. When I have more time I may decide to switch to an iPad application. I'll let followers know if that happens. Bob and I enjoyed a healthy and hearty breakfast with Deb and Kirk. We're going to miss his fresh squeezed juice right off the trees in the back yard. Thanks deb and Kirk for all the great times at your home and the grand tours of Disney.
It was a long,hot day on the tandem. The smell of orange blossoms filled our senses down every road. The captain of this tandem is a man so you can probably understand how we went eight miles out of the way. Finally, I stopped another cyclist who hated to give us the news that we had to turn back. And of course it was all uphill! It was 93 on our bike computers most of the day. We are a bit fried!
We are in a campground tonight near Mt Dora, Florida. It's really a beautiful campground.
Hope to get some sleep. Darlene you know how difficult that can be for me After a day of riding. Bob is an excellent captain and has such strong legs. We are pulling a trailer so that adds to the difficulty of each hill. Thanks to all who are showing support by following along. I will post some pictures on Facebook. Check that site too.

  1. Jules, Sounds like you have hit the obstacle of the hot weather. It will just take some time and you will welcome it. Just remember to ask, ask ,ask Men seem to have a problem with it. It will be exciting to put the wheel in the Atlantic in a day or so and meet with the other riders. Lets hope Bobs m' legs hold up!!!! and yours get stronger?/ Louie is riding a lot and the weather is 70, sunny. Keep on a trucking Only approx.3000 miles away. Baby steps, one day at a time. Blessings, Darlene
