Days 67 - Nov. 11th I rode 60 miles today as Tom my riding partner is getting use to the mileage and Barbara put some miles in today as well. This is the flattest place I have ever been! I am told the highest elevation is 300ft which is much different then the California, Arizona parts of my ride. There is no doubt in my mind that Florida wins the price for best place to bike as it is smooth, flat, no headwinds and great weather and scenery.

Along the route I met Tom Martin who is a ranch hand working the Flying Heart Ranch who was digging post holes when we spoke. We chatted about Habitat for a while along with his work in general. Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out some money to donate to Cycle of Hope! I thought this was a great indication of what kind of person Tom was along with what Habitat represents. The American people have been great as I have passed across this country. People like Tom and everyone else who have contributed to this cause to all be proud to live in this great country!!
We are now 130 miles from St. Augustine and have raised $65,000 of the $71,000 goal! We are getting close to achieving this goal and I am hopeful I do not have to turn around in St. Augustine and continue back to California until I hit my goal. We are really trying to achieve this goal by Saturday Nov. 15th as we will have a police escort through St. Augustine finishing the Cycle of Hope Journey. If you know anyone that would want to contribute, please forward them this website as they can donate directly or click on the Humanitas Wine link and $20 of that purchase will go to Cycle of Hope!
