I think this week is going to require major rewiring!

So the plan for the coming week is to sit tight in Sarasota and bike. Mark and Wayne are driving down from Washington on Saturday, arriving late that evening. They have a local friend, Brad, who rides with the Sarasota Manatee Bike Club (SMBC) that Wayne will stay with while Mark and I will lodge at a local hotel. The plan is to ride daily in (hopefully) warm weather, although the current forecast is for lower than desired temperatures early in the week and rain Sunday.

We will see!

Next Saturday (January 9th), Wayne flies back to Washington, and Mark will accompany me by car as I bike first to Orlando, where we take a two-day break, and then onto St Augustine, where we take a one-day break, and then onto Jacksonville, where I leave my bike with a good friend. Mark and I will then take two days to drive to Washington before I return with Happy on January 25th for Part Two of Florida 2016!
