We arrived at our AirBnB in the weeee hours of last night.. and today We got to sleep in!!!! Felt great! Our Airbnb host, Linda, is pretty awesome and she happens to be from MN. Small world!

We geared up tonride, walked outside and were surprised to find it was way warmer than we thought.  Yay! We rode up to marine land and then down A1A. Stopped to walk a beach. Wanted to walk a boardwalk but it was still Closed for repairs from the hurricane. Not a ton of bikes out today, but the week is young!   df Stopped by Finns in Flagler Beach- my old stomping grounds. Got a table on the rooftop overlooking A1A and the ocean- and in the sun.

Hauled ass to Stiffy’s, packed my crap and we were off to hit the road! Yay! Except for the small issue.... we couldn’t get the receiver on the ball hitch no matter what we tried. I hate asking for help for seemingly simple things.. I know how a hitch works but by now we are running on 4 hrs of sleep last night and 4 the night before... the ...
