Day 55: Gainsvile

So little sleep was had last night, what with the open air music playing until 1.30am; golf buggies with drunkards and merry makers zooming by the tents; and someone playing their car radio at full blast at 2am, the 6.30 am ish start to the day was not welcomed, nor was thr prospect of a 96 mile cycle ride.

However, we all managed to arrive at Tom and Matha's place in Gainsville.

Matha and Tom, our hosts for the night, have been members of "Warm Showers" (https://www.warmshowers.org/) for many years and were keen to upscale to accommodate an ACA group, and what a great pair of hosts located in their very own idyll, which they appear to want to share with fellow cyclists. Thanks for the great hospitality, pecan pie, coconut chess pie and scones in the morning. I think I can safely say that we all enjoyed our stay, thanks again to Tom and Matha.

Only 3 ice creams today, including Working Cow ice cream.
