Kingsland GA to St Augustine FL 132km 146 m Vertical Climb
We got a late start today due to booking a flight back to
Montreal.
We will stop the ride in
Miami instead of Key West and call it Montreal to Miami.
The flight back will cost $ 200 for me and the bike will
cost $150.
I imagine I will be sitting
beside my bike.
The route bypassed Jacksonville and used a small ferry
across the St. John River. The ride
cost us $1 each. On the ferry we met a
group of bike riders who were out for a one-day ride. We spent the whole ride chatting and they strongly recommended
we visit St Augustine. We had an easy
day planned – 90km to Ponte Vedra. But we missed the hotels in Ponte Vedra
and decided to keep on riding to St. Augustine. The extra 26km turned into 42 km and we were tired when we
arrived in St. Augustine. We checked in
at 18:40 and it was getting dark, but we’ll have more time for St Augustine
tomorrow. We are now riding next to the Atlantic Ocean. Florida has a road, the A1A, that goes along the coast from top to bottom.

We have had blue skies and sunshine since you left, but windy today from the north hopefully it was blowing you south. The gator has been out on the bank each day; so sorry you missed seeing him. Stay safe and enjoy St. Augustine, home of the World Golf Hall of Fame, for whatever that's worth. Don
