During a recent trip to Florida, I had the opportunity to bicycle along the Jacksonville Beaches.  While not my intent, I ended up logging over 25 miles during one session.  Even with a stiff ocean breeze, the ride felt really good. 

While I expected to experience a bit of trepidation with this first extended road outing since my accident, I had none. I guess that my “No Fear” instincts remain intact after my TransAmerica mishap. In my world, that’s all good, even if it’s a bit crazy!

My rule has always been that if you can bike 20 miles, then you can bike 100. Physically, this is a good baseline as I prepare to return to the TransAmerica Trail in the late spring.

Now that the leaves are falling in Virginia, I’ll stick with the bicycle trainer until I return to Florida in the winter. I look forward to logging many more miles along the beach.
