Catching up on bike trip
The plan is to ride from fair hope, Al to Phoenix which is about 2000 miles and should take about a month. So far, so good.
Getting started: Cal, who stayed with us in Charleston, and I drove to Jacksonville where we picked up Ron who dropped off the rental car he drove up Fort Myers. We kept alerting on trucking to Fairhope where we spent the night with Bill Robertson at his condo. The talk was all about pass trips and the pending rain. We had a great meal at Winsels. Even the Absolute was above average?
Day one:Fairhope to Dalphin Island..58 miles. More rain worry in the morning but the rain is never as bad as the worrying part. Uncle Bill rode with us for about 20 miles before turning back to the condo..thinking he was rid of us. We finished the days ride with a visit to Fort Morgan and the ferry ride to Dalphine Island.
Cal had a flat and the nearest bike shop was in Fairhope, enter Bill stage right. While Cal was alerting the ferry that Bill was dropping off the spare tires for them to bring over from Ft. Morgan, Ron and I dropped in on Bill's cousin John and his wife Jenna who were on holiday on the island. We had a few drinks, some great food and watch the Alabama Game with them and their friends
