| Rode the Jamis with 28mm slicks, only CX bike I saw |
One of my favorite things to do when traveling is to bike in new places. It seems to give me the ability to actually visit a place more completely since I've seen more of the area while riding around. A popular place to ride in South Florida is A1A, which goes along the coastline.
I decided that A1A would be an easy ride to do. Since it's an out-and-back route, there are no turns and it's impossible to get lost. I didn't know how far I was going to ride since I had forgotten to bring the magnet for my bike computer, but I figured that I'd just ride to a certain time and then turn back. Unfortunately, there was a 25-30 mph wind blowing that day. I went up the coast and ended up seeing around 300 bikers, some in packs of 50+ riders. At certain points I ended up riding with some bikers I came across, and I ended up riding with one gentleman on the way up as well as on the way back. I rode all the way up to South Palm Beach before turning around. Unfortunately, I had a headwind going almost the entire way back to Sara's parents' apartment. I finished the ride pretty spent and out for a lot longer than I had expected to be. On the upside, however, I got to see much of the coastline of South Florida.
