We headed out of the hotel around 8 o'clock. Very urban and often not terribly bike friendly, but nothing outrageously dangerous. It was a lot warmer than I thought it would be at 90°, and the headwind was more than I anticipated. We struggled starting around 3/4 of the way through, but made it to the Publix grocery store, but not the one we were supposed to be getting groceries at. We were not quite last, but we did not make it to the correct store in time to pick up groceries with the group. Almost 70 miles. I came in pretty exhausted. Showers were amazing and there was a pay washer and dryer. Adventure Cycling resolves that its groups cook meals vegetarian, and then separately cook up meat for people to add in. It's a cool system. Hordes of mosquitoes made Adventura Cycling's suggestion of a head net seem brilliant in hindsight. There was a full moon which fully lit up our tent partly because we had decided to pass on the fly. It was pretty warm. The moon was bright, but not consumingly problematic.
