DeLeon springs ride

This will be in history books. 6 riders tackling 62 miles on a route that Google chose. We started out with a new chickfila employee messing our order up. Then a helmet rolled off the back of a motorcycle on I-4 at hwy speed. Said helmet went under our Honda minivan and lodge itself under the engine. The noise, the chaos inside the car and traffic was crazy. I pulled over and we could not dislodge it. I backed over a drainage culvert with no luck so I backed down I-4 until I could back up onto a curb which freed it just before it burst into flames. The burning smell from it sitting on tailpipe was pretty strong. Then we went up to the trailhead and started our adventure a little late. 3 flats later and multiple missed turns we made it to the DeLeon spring as the winds picked up. We ran into a 12k miles a year bicyclist that gave us a short tour of Volusia county getting us back on course. Ultimately Chance and Eddie made it to the cars and reran the route to pick up the remaining spent carcasses the wind defeated. What a day. Total mileages were 56 -79 depending on your energy.
