50 miles
Arrived at the Bodock B&B late afternoon. The innkeepers are lovely people and great hosts. They live next door and have turned the old homestead into a B&B. No one else was staying so Clay and I had the whole place to ourselves. Our whole stay was Southern Hospitality at it's finest, including the cheese grits served at breakfast and the fresh gardenia in the bathroom.
After checking in we rode north on the Tanglefoot trail. Fifteen miles out and turned around and came back. An interesting thing about this trail is we saw many golf carts. One cart had a man and woman and the man had a sheriff's badge on his t-shirt. We learned from our host that they patrol the trail. The others we saw we don't know what they were doing. Possibly going for an evening ride or going to dinner at one of the towns along the trail??? Maybe they are saving gas by going in the golf carts instead of driving their vehicles. It's so unusual because motorized vehicles aren't supposed to be on the trails.
The trailheads were also called whistle stops and had nice facilities with bike repair stations and pumps. Most also had benches or picnic tables and flowerbeds or hanging baskets of flowers.
After breakfast Saturday morning we rode south on the trail 10 miles, turned around and came back. There were more people on the trail this morning compared to yesterday. Also, more golf carts. It was a gorgeous morning and a great way to start our day! Thanks to retired judge Toby Winston and his beautiful wife Jane for letting us have a late checkout so we could clean up after the ride. Next stop....Tallahassee, Florida.
