 Naples Park

Another beautiful day to ride. Mission today was to ride down to Naples and score some food. The only thing I found near the motel open on Christmas was a 7-11. So yesterday's holiday feast consisted of fritos and microwave popcorn. The first twelve miles was the same as yesterday's ride with negotiation of the Ft Myers trails until getting to San Carlos Blvd then instead of heading west into the gulf I turned to the south and ran along the beach down to Naples. Pretty steady riding except for the bridges that pass over the channels between the keys. Got passed by a large group of riders that went flying by in a tight paceline. Thought about chasing and trying to catch on but was content to pedal at a comfortable rate instead. Miles passed quickly and soon arrived at North Naples and had lunch at a McDonalds. Turned back after forty miles and toured through the resort sections on the beach. Stopped at a park along the road on the way back and laid back and watched the seabirds and clouds. Another good day on the bike.
