BJ,
It was great to finally meet you. I can see that I have a ways to go
to before I can attempt the distance. We watched you take off on
the incline and I was amazed how effortless you did that. Some day
I'll find that sweet spot. We also saw the other 2 trikkers on the
way in.
Hope you have a good ride in Calif. Let me know when you find out
the pricing on the carry bags. I sure could use a couple for our
trip North.
I thought I would share the website brochure for the Florida state
trails. The are plenty of others that are either are county or local
parks with decent paved roads or trails.
