Unsurprisingly, bro bailed on us getting together today, but I was still determined bike around the region, heading north this time.
I walked my bike to the gas station on 10th & federal, aired up the long-flat tires, rode east to the beach, north on a1a to palmetto park, went west to federal, and then south to 10th. a nice, scenic circuit, but I was too busy enjoying the ride in the cool weather to take many pics. 14.4 miles, total route (I doubled back a few time s to check the bike shop, and rode up Dixie to see what was new. I picked up some cool stuff at the art store which was having an insane blowout sale... one of those foot-tall wooden manikins for drawing bodies for $4, a thick pad full of 12 x 18" newsprint paper for doodling on for $0.75, and a couple of graphite pencils for a buck. it was all 20% off those prices, too, so I got a lot of fun loot for less than what lunch would've cost me out. I wonder if Newt'll mangle the wooden guy... the manikin is similar to the wooden Christmas tree ornaments that Newt loves to smack around.
3602 calories burned if I was walking... I wonder what that translates to in cycling? Probably not nearly as much.
Here's my route 14.4 miles, give or take.
Wings place - still hasn't repaired the impaled sign since Wilma.
Island Water Sports - Contrary to the prior image, they wanted a giant shark head first in the roof. By the way, on the inside, there is a giant shark head coming through the ceiling, too.
I *think* that this is the Boca chamber of commerce, but I'm not sure. I really like the curvy divot on the side, slicing some of the windows.

Date: 2006-01-09 07:12 am (UTC)I saw the Captain America movie recently - now that really was pretty much all bad. Except maybe for the Italian chicks in the street cafe who took the trouble to get seated at their table before pulling pistols out and opening fire...

Date: 2006-01-09 11:16 am (UTC)The Captain America movie was god-awful... at one point when the Bad guys hopped in the lear jet, my brain shouted "Nazi's Assemble!"
