Floribama Riders

The late arriving contingent (Charles B., Susan J., Greg S., and I) managed to get a very late start.  I was originally planning to leave earlier with Mark C. but....  We left the Binder Garage in Leeds at 1:50 PM on Friday with Charles and Greg leading at various points.  We took some back roads while we had daylight--planning to slab it after dark.  It was peaceful and pretty and uneventful.  Most of the roads were low traffic and it was a nice ride up.  We finally hopped on the interstate and made better time.  When we got close we hit the side roads.  There were only 2 minor almost incidents.  We saw a deer off the side of the road, and, thankfully, it just watched us ride by.  About 20-30 minutes from the end a large fuzzy white dog appeared in the middle of the road and was too stunned to move.  Greg and Susan came the closest to it.  Again, no problem.
