Five Day Florida Foray

Decided to take one last vacation for the year and retreated to what we thought would be warmer weather.Well, Florida apparently experienced a cold spell for the duration of our trip. Even though it was a tad chilly, we still made the best of it and had a blast.

After an exhausting 13 hour trip through the night down after a full days of work:

They had a really nice free-ride park. After riding 15 miles, apparently I am no expert rider as I went down a couple of times.


This is actually the shot taken a split-second before the crash. Still sore and rashed up a bit a week later.


It was a blast, but very exhausting and I'm glad to be back sleeping in my own bed.
