Many months of training finally paid off, as I crossed the finish line in Miami with the rest of my biking friends from Orlando.

We rode 100 miles a day, and stopped at a pre-arrange camping location (usually county fairgrounds) each night. When we arrived at camp, we had to find our luggage that had been transported via semi's and arranged according to "color" for us to locate.

We camped in pairs in 2-person tents, and we showered in community showers that were actually portable units on wheels (lined up inside special semi's). There were 800 of us on this cross-state bike ride.

All-u-can eat meals were provided for us 3 times a day, plus healthy snacks along the route, and a party each night with live entertainment.

...So much fun, I signed up for the next year's ride too!
