Pensacola- First Century!!

I'm We started the day with the best breakfast of the trip so far, including bacon that is in my Top 3 and pancakes straight from heaven. We were going to need as much food as possible to begin our 98 mile day. Everyone was super optimistic and ready to get rolling.

We got lucky with tailwinds and huge stretches of downhill and cranked our war to lunch by 10:30. Weather wise, it was the first day we didn't feel like we were in Florida because we woke up to temps in the mid 60s and it was tolerable for more of the day in the low 80s. Because we were going over 90 miles we got a second lunch around mile 75 and proceeded to take a quick beach break at around mile 80.

Riding through Pensacola Beach was the most beautiful way to spent the day and made the ride so enjoyable. We added on another two miles to the end of the trip so we evened out at 100, our first century! Tropical Smoothie was the only way to celebrate our new accomplishment but a nap was much needed once we realized we have another 96 tomorrow.

We are considering adding on the four miles tomorrow but it really depends on how the ride goes. Two centuries in two days would be a challenge for even the most experienced cyclist.
