Unsurprisingly, bro bailed on us getting together today, but I was still determined bike around the region, heading north this time.
I walked my bike to the gas station on 10th & federal, aired up the long-flat tires, rode east to the beach, north on a1a to palmetto park, went west to federal, and then south to 10th. a nice, scenic circuit, but I was too busy enjoying the ride in the cool weather to take many pics. 14.4 miles, total route (I doubled back a few time s to check the bike shop, and rode up Dixie to see what was new. I picked up some cool stuff at the art store which was having an insane blowout sale… one of those foot-tall wooden manikins for drawing bodies for $4, a thick pad full of 12 x 18″ newsprint paper for doodling on for $0.75, and a couple of graphite pencils for a buck. it was all 20% off those prices, too, so I got a lot of fun loot for less than what lunch would’ve cost me out. I wonder if Newt’ll mangle the wooden guy… the manikin is similar to the wooden Christmas tree ornaments that Newt loves to smack around.
3602 calories burned if I was walking… I wonder what that translates to in cycling? Probably not nearly as much.
Here’s my route 14.4 miles, give or take.
Wings place – still hasn’t repaired the impaled sign since Wilma.
Island Water Sports – Contrary to the prior image, they wanted a giant shark head first in the roof. By the way, on the inside, there is a giant shark head coming through the ceiling, too.
I *think* that this is the Boca chamber of commerce, but I’m not sure. I really like the curvy divot on the side, slicing some of the windows.
