32.1 miles: 3 hours 53 minutes riding
Great day! We woke up to pouring down rain and a visitor on our tent. We decided to break camp and not have a breakfast in the rain - instead we went to get in line for the ferry. Turns out there were only two trucks and us do we didn't need to bother!
Saw a lot of activity in Mobile bay including some oil rigs and a huge shipping container barge. After about a 30 minute ride we then biked about 3 miles to a restaurant - by that time it was sunny and dry so we sat out on the deck. It was amazing to sit there looking at the view, watching a local kid dip net, drying out and warming up and eating some great food!
The ride into Gulf Shores was great - there is even a bike path for part of it.
We went to a great barbque place for lunch and while we were sitting there realized it was Sunday and that the NASCAR finale was on (it's easy to lose track of the day on trips like this). At that point we decided to get a hotel sooner rather than later instead of riding to the campground as we had planned (hey - we have no deadlines so why not just go with it?). :)
Congratulation to Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards - what a great race!!
