Today was the last day of riding the Space Coast Tour. I cannot recommend this tour strongly enough for anyone looking for a vacation of fantastic food with a little bit of riding thrown in (so you don’t feel quite as guilty eating all this fabulous food). We have been to Italian, Spanish, French, seafood, steak restaurants with a little of everything else in between (pheasant, quail, duck, etc) added in.
I rode about 32 miles today and averaged about 12.2 mph – going faster with the wind and slower against the wind. The scenery along the Indian River was beautiful. There were gorgeous houses that we all dreamed about living in (there were a few for sale signs, not that I could afford one). I shared more than a dozen photos on Facebook for those who don’t know this blog exists.
We stopped in Cocoa today for lunch and it was a pleasant surprise to order a chai latte! I also finally split a lunch – I did it often on the Coast to Coast tour. I shared a grilled vegetable flatbread sandwich with Ellen. I wish I could replicate these sandwiches at home.
Julia and I detoured to find the Cocoa, FL post office and took the requisite photo. There are so many nice, friendly people on Bubba tours. If you have ever thought about a bike tour, give Bubba’s tour company a try.

One of the last examples of Queen Anne architecture in the area. The original owner of this house was the first Postmaster of the city of Rockledge, Fl (during the late 1870’s).
Very short jaunt on a boardwalk today.
Semone slowing down for a few minutes to chat.
The sea gulls seemed to prefer some docks more than others.
We have seen several boats abandoned in different waterways.
Lunch was at the Ossoria today - great Chai Latte and sandwich today.
