Subject: [Leica] IMG: Atlantic Beach to St Augustine on two wheels

I am spending a few days with my uncle in Atlantic Beach, near Jacksonville. 
My cousin from California, also a cyclist, has been nice enough to acquire a 
road bike to keep here, so that this morning I could use it to cycle down to 
St. Augustine, 51 km south of here. So altogether I cycled 102 km today. In 
one way it was very easy: Florida is flat as a pancake, so the ride only 
involved 70 m of climbing. It was very hot, of course, in the mid-90s, but 
that is not too different from my usual rides around Alicante in the summer. 
The challenge was more that I had not counted on being able to ride, so I 
did not have my cycling shoes or pants, so I just rode in my sneakers and 
gym apparent which made for aching muscles and a sore butt at the end. But 
it was still great, and I met a nice fellow cyclist from Alabama, with whom 
I had a nice chat and we rode a few miles together. As often happens, the 
nicest part of a travel event is meeting the people. I had my little Ricoh 
GR with me and the resulting 12 photos can be seen here:

As always, comments and critique are welcome and appreciated.
