I left Florida City the following morning
(3-2) and rode out and around Miami as far away from the city as I could get by bicycle
without getting into the water of the Everglades. Sorry,
Miami, for the slight, but its your reputation that caused me to do so. Besides, Mom told me not to go anywhere near
Miami.
I spent about half the day in
undeveloped areas along Rt. 979 and about half riding through the western suburbs of Miami
and Ft. Lauderdale. The city part wasnt
bad at all mostly wide streets with not too much traffic.
Im spending the night in a
motel (first time in about two weeks) in Pompano Beach so I can finish Part 19 of the
Journal and e-mail it home.
