This was a 1200k permanent (developed by Dave Thompson and Paul Rozzelle), which was organized as a Brevet last May. Vinny and I Started at 2am EST Jan 6, 2016 at Key West (IGNORE THE TIME STAMP ABOVE!) 1st Day Key West Southern Most point in US to Jupiter, FL 265 miles in 24:15 with major rainstorm with 20 mph headwinds across the Keys, lots of traffic through Miami, Miami Beach. Arrived Jupiter La Quinta at 2:15. Left Jupiter at 6:15 Day 2: Jupiter to Daytona 184 miles in 20:30. Headwinds with sunshine in the 70's during the day. Winds calmed at night. Felt like we were abducted by aliens and we were on a alien treadmill through Cape Canaveral. Dave Thompson and his wife cooked us a nice dinner in New Smyrna Beach. Arrived Daytona Oceanside Inn at 2;45. Left Daytona at 5:30. Day 3 Daytona to Lake Wales 163 miles in 20:10. Some tailwinds but not a lot going west and inland Florida but steep hills around Sugar Loaf Mtn area. Arrived Lake Wales Hampton Inn at 22:55. Left Lake Wales at 4:30. Day 4 Lake Wales to Fort Myers Beach 149 miles in 14 hrs. Some tailwinds until fog lifted and then major headwinds with sunshine in the 80's with high humidity. Ugly road construction on SR 31! Finished at Fort Myers Beach at 18:30, in 88:30 total time, just before a major thunderstorm that had a tornado touch down right near Fort Myers Beach...glad we started 2am instead of the 4am that the Brevet started last May!! Overall a great ride in January regardless of all the headwinds...at least it was warm and not cold like it is in Seattle:)
