Except flat. And except crowded roads. And except palm trees. Started out as a leisurely ride, since the rear end is still sore from the 473 miles of abuse that ended 9 days ago, abuse that was overall a good level of enjoyment. Just tried to keep it manageable. Almost bailed when I realized the clouds had not and were not going to dissipate, nor was the steady 12+ mph wind to die down. Did hustle back south again b/c of the cold wind buffeting me and wanting to get back inside, but missed the ferry by about 2 minutes. Did get power & cadence sensors functional again. Found Holly a little piece of driftwood and a new red bungee cord to keep it on my handlebars. Left the cell phone case (likely cracked) and the rusty little fisherman's needle nose pliers. Saw a 2.5' long blacksnake, too fast leaving to get the phone out for a picture. Still enjoyable to see lots of different fishing styles going on, by both man and bird. Gotta go back & pay the ferry $1.00 tomorrow (they forgot to collect from me on return trip), before leaving for WV via 3 appts @ Duke on Wed.
