Pretty alright day overall, first full day on the new wheel and it rolled true. Had a slow start leaving the campsite but once I got rolling I was an absolute rocket ship. Just built for speed. Made great time.
I had lunch at a little restaurant in Madison and it was amazing. The brick house restaurant served me up a beautiful pulled pork sandwich with some great barbeque sauce. I had some fried green tomatoes on the side too, fantastic. Can I take a moment to talk about sweet tea also? It is so sweet and quenching, I'm crushing it often. Kind of wish I was drinking it right now...
I stayed in the bicycle house in Tallahassee which was an.... Experience. I didn't know what to expect but I knew it was free so that is nice. Turns out it is a funky bicycle co-op with some colorful people working there. I slept on a futon mattress behind a locker, oddly comfortable. I also went out for drinks to a place called the fermentation lounge. A hipster bar in the hipster part of town where I met some people from Cleveland and a guy who went to university in Newfoundland. It was fun to talk Newfoundland with someone, we had a laugh.
Overall a great day I guess, good wheel and good times.
