East Coast Greenway Ride

  We awoke to a quiet foggy morning hoping to find some breakfast.  As it turns out we weren't the only ones looking for breakfast. On the road again, it was slightly comforting to see that the road crews were thinking of us and reminding drivers that we were also on the road.  Road work ahead seemed to force the cars to share the bicycle lane so that was slightly uncomforting. And we all had to share the road with the land crabs.  They must have been taking a break because we didn't see any.  Some of us rode 20 miles and others 30 + miles. When we reached the Melbourne RV park right on the beach, Sarah and Randy immediately got chased by rogue waves.  The water temp was perfect and everyone was enjoying the Atlantic. Sarah, Randy, and Beth stock a Sandhill crane that soon had enough of the game and took flight. We all continued a mile walk on the beach to rendezvous with the Ocean 321 restaurant for dinner.

The next morning sunrise was windy, wet, and not sparkling.  Since it was still raining, we elected to visit the Dolphin Research Center.     We did ride 25 miles in the afternoon and ended in Homestead, Fl for the eve.  There were sights.  :>)   We were so excited about finding an ice cream shop.  This is the before shot.  Within a minute we discovered the ice cream shop was closed.   It closes on a Monday twice a year and we were there during one of those two Mondays!  The after shot will not be part of the blog!  A farmer's market further up the road allowed us to restock the larder.
