Ahh....that warm Florida sunshine!

All but a few would totally ignore you. If you got too close you would see the eyelid lift and the an eyeball slowly moving to track your progress. Pretty cool.

I road the roadway twice for a total of 30 miles. The first time there were few people out and about, except near the visitors center.

By the time I fished my second loop there were more cyclists getting as far as the tower. But, by now the last two miles before the visitors center were jammed with people and bikes.

It was good to see so many people out and about enjoying the day and to hear the exclamations of kids and adults alike at the amazing things they were seeing.

When I peddled back to the parking lot I was glad I biked in. The lot was full and they were sending people out to the roadway for overflow parking.
