| A look down the "main street" at Sumter Landing in The Villages, FL |
Thursday is pretty much in our rear view mirror at this point… and it’s only 7:20 at night. The sun has been down for at least half an hour, and I suppose it’s time to relax and get ready for tomorrow.
We got in a ride today, meeting with an abbreviated version of the normal tandem group that meets in the morning. There were some folks riding with us that are here (as are we) for the Florida Tandem Rally, coming this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Apparently some of the regulars are recovering from the Southern Tandem Rally, which was held just last week in St. Augustine, Florida.
After the “official” ride, we continued on to the local bike shop to pick up some chamois cream (we’ve come to really like this product) and then we headed off to look at an open house in The Villages (which was closed when we got there). Then it was back to “our” house – actually Valerie’s Father in Law’s house – where we called it a day for bicycling. The total was 46 miles.
We dined at a small restaurant called the Lighthouse Point Bar & Grille. A decent meal was had by both… and we definitely would eat there again.
Tomorrow we’ll rent a car and drive about an hour northwest of here to visit with Valerie’s grandmother. We’ll take her shopping and then out to dinner afterwards, so there won’t be any incredible biking tales to tell (unless something happens during the normal morning group tandem ride, which we plan on attending before hitting the highway).
