Day 25: Wednesday, October 16, 2013



64 miles from North Palm Beach, FL to Dania Beach, FL. Once we got out of the horrendous construction through Riviera Beach, the ride was absolutely spectacular.  We bicycled through some amazing neighborhoods of mansion after mansion.  Many of them had their own yachts, some nearly as big as a small cruise ship, parked in front.  Who knew there were so many incredible properties on the coast of Florida?  I am including a couple of photos, but honestly they don’t begin to do the properties justice.  We stopped for our first lunch (which is usually PB&J) at Boynton Beach where they still have lifeguards on duty.  Our second lunch was at Ruby by the Sea in Pompano Beach, FL and under new ownership by Gino the Chef.  Chef Gino was there and proudly served us our lunch accompanied by great conversation.  Getting around the Fort Lauderdale airport was a bit of a puzzle.  Fortunately we met two trail angels who directed us.  The first said he had been at the same spot for the last 23 years.  I guess a lot of people get lost at that spot. The second helped us find the road we needed to cross over 95.  We finally made it to the hotel and had a nice hot shower.

  2. Just ziti, but pasta always hits the spot when bicycling. As to the trailer, I was heartbroken when I found out it was totaled. Once I adjust, perhaps some photos will be in order.
