We rode from Tavernier Key to Marathon Key on Saturday, January 15 under blue, cloudless skies. People were fishing from the bridges and the water was blue merging with emerald green. With only 37 miles to ride, we took our time and enjoyed the cool breezes and warm sun. It was hard to imagine that back home, temperatures were dropping and snow was beginning to fall.
