Key West Ride
CreveCoeur's shin was hurting to much for big jog over vacation so he did a 2 day bike down to Key west... about 82 miles Day 1 to Islamorada and 80 to the 0mile marker in Key West, then Southern Most point and of course Kohr'sBros to end the trip with a treat... Throw in a few McD's Asian Grilled chicken Salads/Yogurt Parfaits and Subway 6" veggie or ham on wheat subs in between. Even a sirloin at Outback steak house was in there- most Creve ate out all year. Only challenging aspect of trip was the heat and sun( which Creve is acclimated too... didn't even get thirsty enough for water, just diet soda & coffee) - cardio wise it was a breeze; even though bike was loaded down with about 30+lbs gear in pannier's (Always like a 12 pack- diet dr. pepper on hand) - defiantly easier than running.... Creve averaged 13 mph and heart rate of 107 (Normal resting rate in 40 bpm/Max of 176 so about 65% HR?)

Creve had such a such a great eating/relaxing time he's peculating a Bike Trip to home state or even cross country in future.
Who knows, when he retires; if he's still single, maybe be a cross country bike tour guide once or twice a year...
