| Well, we've established where our table / booth will be. Right at the end of Main Street on The Boardwalk. This is right next to the entrance of the pier and boardwalk bike ride, in front of restaurants and shops. We met Jill Jaquet today. She has been our primary contact at City Hall and been so helpful in getting us ready to share with Daytona Beach. She beamed with pride as we talked about her city. And rightfully so. Everything has been so beautiful, especially the weather. Running in the mid 70s, blue skies and lots of bikes. I mean LOTS OF BIKES! I walked down Main Street for the first time today. What sights. You have to see it to believe it. And I'm told that this is nothing. Wait until and Saturday. They are estimating about 375,000 bikes this year. And many more people. My backdoor routes are paying off. I can get from end to end in about 10 minutes. If you travel down Atlantic Avenue (the main beachfront drag) it can take up to an hour. The price we pay to cruise. Check out today's action! |
