An easy 10 mile ride east to the Atlantic, with great tailwind. Needless to say, there was no gourmet breakfast at the Nassau. We decided this was third hotel which would not be Paula/Jen approved. But the best of those 3. So had breakfast with Santa at a diner in Fernandina then explored 'historic" Amelia. After all the sites in SC/GA, it didn't quite compare. But the bike trail through Amelia, Talbot and Fort George islands was sweet. Called a (necessary) audible and took ferry across St John river, then cruised south along A1A to a Marriott in Jacksonville Beach. Upgrade for us! Both of us commented that the miles are going by easily and we missed the 70+ days of earlier in the trip. Arrival in time for face-off of bruins-penguins game, some beach time and bittersweet tears of joy and sorrow. 45 miles.
Travel day featured beach morning, no massage, Frankel taking the go kart championship and 20 miles of exceptionally unpleasant riding to bike shop to drop off bikes for shipping. Then good smoothies and bad Uber experience to the airport. Not coming back to Jacksonville.
