Day 47: Cape Canaveral and into the Hurricanes

October 28,2004 ~ New Smyrna Beach to Melbourne ~ 73 miles

Continuing south to Key West along Florida's Atlantic Coast, the cyclists paralleled Cape Canaveral today en route to Melbourne, the day's destination point. Although the riders entered the area of the state hit more seriously by recent hurricanes, roadway conditions--according to Myron Skott--aren't half bad, especially with the minimal traffic and wide shoulders of Route A1A. Be sure to listen to Myron's audio post for a more detailed account of the day's journey.

Tomorrow: Six days to go -- Melbourne to Ft. Pierce
