Tumbling Tandem

We are all feeling good and weather is good, so once again we pushed on further than planned. We have a guy who is a cyclist too who offered to follow us with his camper for one week. He went ahead again today and going a free spot to set up camp. He found a place behind the library in high springs along the Santa Fe River. But camping like this means no real showers again. Penny and I haven't been able to wash our hair in three days. With the heat and grime on the road we were feeling terrible. John, one of our riders walked over to the fire department across the street and begged for the two women to shower at the department. We were welcomed in. How wonderful!!! The men were a bit jealous.
In the middle of the day we all decided to stop in Gainsville at a bike shop. The city was crowded, being a college town. As we pulled into the parking area two of our bikes collided. Bob and I went over and the two of us went rolling. Thank God no injuries. Darlene, not even blood! The others behind us said that we did it so well that we looked like professional stunt riders. Guess all those falls I took over the years helped do it gracefully.
We are walking to a little local place for supper tonight.

  1. Jules, The Parish Conucil went well. But no beter than the fall. Wow , are you lucky. Probably wasn't going as fast as hitting the railroad tracks. Did I see a camper in one of the photos? Maybe the same guy I see who has no bags on his bike. How are you making spaghetti? Keep trucking. snow and ice tomorrow. Winter does not want to leave. I have Audrey following on FB. Wish I were there. Do you wish you had cut your hair shorter? Blessings, Darlene
