Only 22 miles traveled today. The original plan was to head straight to Cape Canaveral after Orlando, but it would have had a few sketchy problems. First, I would have had to scoot through part of the city of Orlando. Since the drivers were making me nervous near Disney, I figured I should stay away! Second was weather. I would have hit some tough winds and rain if I went straight to the coast. Twenty-two miles meant less traveling and avoiding afternoon storms. It’s ugly out there now! Finally, due to where I stopped in Orlando, I would have had to scoot 80 miles to the cape. No thank you!
I made a great decision. The ride to St. Cloud was very nice. I got out of Disney traffic quickly (I was a mile from the exit) and cruised through Celebration. Plenty of wide sidewalks since it’s Disneyfied. No need for roads today.
There was even a nice bike path next to a Kissimmee airfield. St. Cloud itself is a nice little scoot too. I ended up a great little motel next to a lake. It has the feeling of the Blue Cat Hotel in Ozarks. The picture below is right out back. Tomorrow is A1A.
Until then…
