Another nice morning. Cold last night, probably in the low 40's but should be nice later. After waking up and handling the routine morning ablutions we went to breakfast at the Bakery in Bushnell for another great meal. The rest of the morning was spent cleaning and vacuuming. Even the car got cleaned out.
By 11:30 AM the bikes tires had been pumped, chains lubed and water bottles filled. How quickly the morning passes when you're having a good time, heh, heh! And it's now it's noon, time to load the bikes on the car for our drive to the Rails to Trails Of The Withlacoochee (http://www.railstotrailsonline.com/). We drive to Nobleton, about eight miles away and park at the campground on the Withlacootchee River, After unloading the bikes we rode over to the trail where it crosses the highway and begin the eight mile ride to Floral City.
Surprisingly the sun is out but there is a breeze blowing so it is actually chilly in the shady sections since we opted for light shirts and shorts. The trail is wide and well maintained as we continue north, crossing the Nobleton-Floral City Hwy several times. With the trail on an old railroad bed, it is pleasantly level and we pass many people out for a ride.
Arriving in Floral City we park our bikes in front of the Floral City Bagel Shop and Deli where we go in and order sandwiches. Now this is a place to get sandwiches. They are so big both of us could only eat half and we had to bring half home with us. They were really, really good sandwiches!
After lunch we rode around Floral City for a while then headed back down the trail to the car for round trip ride of just over seventeen miles. Later in the evening I went and played pool with the guys while Tina watched a movie.
