Day 6: An extra 86kms....

The logistics of a 24/7 relay ride with 5 teams and 6 hour shifts means that we do not ride on day 6. Finishing at midnight...we essentially have the next 24 hours off. Terry on my team suggested that he would be interested in connecting with one of the other teams who are riding during this time if it was possible. Well....that suggestion transformed our 'rest' day to an 'extra ride' day.

We did a very quick stop at the Kennedy Space Centre since we were passing by.....


....grabbed a quick lunch....and then hunted down the team 4 to 5 transition location just north of Jensen Beach. Here's the route...another 86kms...and Terry, Ryan, and myself joined up with team 5 for a great ride. It was windy...and we had some rain as well....so having additional riders in the group was helpful in sharing the work to complete this leg.



Eric on my team also wanted to join for the extra ride....but had some calls that he had to take which conflicted. You can see he wasn't too pleased in missing out:


Larger group dedication to start this ride:


That's it....one more ride remaining the next day...and we are at the finish line!
