Flo-rida

So how odd has the past few days been? Well if 25 (celcius) and higher in November is any indication, its been nice. Departure from Ottawa Tuesday was as usual, later than hoping, but we arrived late, or early Wed. morning in Columbia Maryland. A brief stopover at Kelly's aunts, where we left Kona (the dog) for a few days, and headed to Florida, Clearwater (Think Tampa Bay) to be exact. Very nice, warm, sunny, beaches, palm trees. Not exactly cross weather, but very conducive to riding! Tomorrow (Saturday) Kelly is off the start line at 7:20am for Half Ironman World Championships, so a nice early morning!
So a good morning of support will be in order, very nice! Hope to get a ride in in the afternoon, as Kell will no doubt be recovering at that point. More "cityrvals" as I've found riding here isn't the best, its a bit too much city, stop and go. However, I've discovered the network of bike/walk paths, good for cruising, and a nice way to check out the city's parks and nicer scenery.
We'll keep ya posted, and hope to get some pics in too!
