I was glad we were not in a rush to start the ride. We woke up to cold, rain and wind. We took out time to eat breakfast and get our gear together. After doing so the weather had improved. We unloaded our bikes, took care of final riding matters, prayed and departed. It was great to get riding!
Jen and the boys went on ahead. They would keep us posted as to what was a head. The ride down A1A was pretty as we passed Big and Little Talbot State Parks. We met up with Jen and the boys at the Ferry that would take us to Mayport. It was a nice and relaxing break.
After Mayport we began to deal with the traffic of the Jacksonville area. No problems PTL! We met up with Jen and the boys at Ponte Vedra Beach so we could eat lunch. Having a support van and crew is great. After lunch we began our put to Anastasia Island State Park.
Once we arrived in Villano Beach we knew it was just a matter of time till we reached camp. We crossed the bridge to St. Augustine and then enjoyed the sites along the way. We rode by the Fort and into town. The traffic moves slowly so it is easy to navigate downtown.
After seeing downtown we knew that it was time to get to camp. Jen and the boys had camp all set up so all we had to do was clean up and enjoy dinner. We cooked up some hamburgers, hotdogs and baked beans. It was awesome!
Day 1 went well. We knew that day 2's ride to Titusville would be longer and more of a challenge. We were looking forward to that.
