Marianna, FL

90 miles to Marianna on Highway 90 with a 70% chance of rain with large hail and winds at 15 - 20mph. After the accident yesterday, and this gloomy forecast this morning, a few of us decided to sag. Of course, today there was a decent shoulder all the way, the rain was only an occasional mist, and sometimes the wind was a tail wind. Sometimes you just can’t win. The ride was a tree lined corridor interrupted with little towns and the Chipola River.

After the ride it was remarkable to see these gals cleaning their bikes — is that displaced housework? Do they miss this activity at home? I went shopping, and found the perfect food group: Coca Cola Plus made with vitamins and minerals! Wow, junk food heaven.
