Day 40--No Mas Pantalones
I started the day with a nice ferry ride across the bay to Fort Morgan AL. During the ride I actually had to put my coat and beanie on because it was pretty chilly. I assumed it was going to stay that way for the rest of the day--like it had in the past few days. As soon as I got about a mile down the road though I started noticing that it was much warmer on this side of the bay. So I took a layer off and kept going. Within 20 miles I was down to just my shorts and bike shirt and it was still hot. I had not been this bare in weeks! It was very sunny and warm and humid. I could actually feel the weight of the air around me.
There weren't too many big events today. The Blue Angels were practicing above me for about an hour. I tried to get a picture, but they were too quick.
I made it to Florida and all the way to near Ft Walton Beach where Hurlburt Field AFB is; my friend is stationed here and I am am staying with her. It was my 3rd longest ride of the tour at 97 miles. I was pretty tempted to go ride around the block a few times to get another century but meh...nothing to prove here.
