Wow! It feels so strange to be back in Spirit. Here we are in Kissimmee, FL for our first two nights back on the road. We have an appointment tomorrow morning at Camping World. It's time for two new coach batteries (these will be #4&5 for the year: we've replaced the batteries on both cars, the Ford cab, and now the coach batteries, all in one year); and some other minor servicing including an upgrade to our bathroom fan. The little one that was installed when we bought the RV is useless and the seal has shrunk all around it, and it makes noises, and we just didn't like it anymore. So, we're treating ourselves!
From here we'll go to Mt Dora for it's annual Bicycle Festival. We'll arrive sometime on Friday and pedal Saturday and Sunday. We haven't been able to do this ride the last two years because of our travels, but we had done it several times before. You forget you're in Florida riding in this area of the state...there are actually hills! There's one ride I like. It's called Thrill Hill. If you get up enough momemtum just prior to going down, you can get up some great speed. The last time we did it, I broke 40 mph going downhill. Very exciting. Unfortunately you lose that speed quite quickly because the uphill that immediately follows it is just as steep. Just picture a big "V".
