FLORIDA COAST TO COAST BIKE TRAIL DAY 6-FINAL DAY
My last day! 36 miles. 80+ degrees and sunny, slight headwind. I was real excited to get this last stretch under my belt. In fact, at one point on the ride I called Nan to come pick me up as I would be finishing in a few minutes! In fact, in my excitement of anticipating the end I screwed up the math and was actually at mile 26 not 36. So never mind! Today was the easiest ever. There was no way of getting lost on this stretch and my legs were rearing to go. The trail traveled through commercial areas, downtown areas and several parks in the heavily populated west coast of Florida. This was the only time on the trip where I had to weave in and out around bikers, walkers, skaters, scooters, etc. Although I reached Florida's west coast in Clearwater, I had to veer back inland to the trail's terminus on Tampa Bay at Demens Landing Park in St. Petersburg to complete the entire trail. Some Clearwater art work. The trail was almost uneventful except for one incident
