Trans America Cycling Day 43 - Defuniak Springs, FL to Marianna, FL

The link to today's route and statistics is found here . Today was an excellent day for riding.  We had cloud cover to reduce the heat and radiation, and the wind was a cooling crosswind from the north.  Probably the best aspect of the ride though was the superb shoulder on Hwy 90.  The road and shoulder were made of well compacted asphalt, not chip and seal, and there were few cracks to cause a bumpy ride.  This was probably the smoothest ride of the entire tour! Do you miss Texas yet?  All the brisket, beautiful flowers, longhorns, cacti, antelope, the hill country, armadillos, etc?  I'm sure that the Texan in our midst is homesick.  Here is something to remind him of Texas.
