DAYS 48, 49, 50 ,51

Wednesday found us biking from Pensacola to Crestview, Florida.
This was a trip of 65 miles, mostly flat and some along a very nice bike trail.  The scenery is pretty much the same, lots of pines and quiet roads. 
Thursday was our last day of over 90 miles.  We did "90 on the 90"from Crestview to Marianna.
Route 90 is the original road across the southern US and we have been on and off it the whole trip.  Today we did 90 miles on it.  It is quiet with a nice shoulder and goes through a few small towns.  Interstate 10 has replaced this road as the main route and parallels the 90.  There is not much in the little towns anymore.  We did stop at Sally's for an early lunch and meet a nice local couple who bought us lunch.

Friday we rode from Marianna to Quincy.  We are in the middle of the Florida panhandle and it is not flat.  We crossed the Chattahochee river which is line between Central Standard Time and Eastern Standard Time.  We are now back in the easter time zone.  
Today, Saturday, we rode 47 miles from Quincy to Crawfordsville.
Some hills today but flat at the end.  Some people went to the state park to swim and see alligators.  I am going to tomorrow on our rest day.  We have a van that will take us in the afternoon.
We have had great weather in the low 80s.
Only 4 more riding days!!  We never want to see another hotel breakfast!
