2013 Savannah Century

12 friends rented a cottage on Tybee Labor Day weekend.  Sunday was the Savannah Bike century which was a blast.  I was recovering well from my jet lag but came down with a stomach virus so no biking for me.  Seven riders started with one finishing the 56, two finishing the 75 and four finishing the 103.  Good turnout from the Team Peace wearing their Orange Cycle Jerseys.

I have to comment that the cottage turned out to be a very special place for our group to relax and catch-up.

We booked the cottage online from Mermaid Cottages; the cottage we chose was the Dutton-Waller cottage.  This cottage was built in the 1930s and is one of the few remaining original tybee cottages.  It is on the national historic register.  The cottage was advertised to sleep 8 but their are beds and couches for at least 6 more under the age of 21.  Mermaid Cottages were very easy to work with and made the stay very easy.  

Mom, Dad and Suzy came over Monday for their anniversary dinner.  A great labor day weekend wih friends and family.    

Chance's 2011 Adventure Cycling trip

I arrived in Orlando Sunday night. On Monday, a day I stayed home to let my mind catch up with my body, Chance decides to go on a seven day Adventure Cycling trip. He takes the van in the rain to the city of Cocoa and starts on a bike ride around South Florida. He made a bee line to Key West.

Day 1 - Cocoa to Ft Pierce
Day 2 - Boca Raton
Day 3- Miami
Day 4 - Everglades and Florida City
Day 5 - Pine Keys
Day 6 - Key West
Day 7 - Fort Meyer to Sarasota

Chance took a ferry from Key West to Fort Meyers and then rode up to Sarasota. Sally, Stephanie and I were visiting colleges so we planned to head his way afterwards so we met him in Sarasota right as the sun was setting. He never claimed of being sore or out of spirits. He did over 80 miles a day. He camped, slept in a Hostel, a motel and on the beach; he has many stories to regale.
