My new commute is nuttier than ever. Instead of turning right at the beginning, I now turn left and head toward Davis Hwy. Turn left on Davis toward Hwy 90 (9 mile Rd.) and head to Pace! They are tearing up the road on the land bridge over to the Pace area and the vibrations I get from the ground up pavement kills my speed! It is a 6 mile one way trip and I do it almost every work day. I need a new video, but I'm afraid the road will take my camera like it did my headlight!
Oh, Jernigan! Man things have changed! It didn't used to look like that when you came out of Jernigan! (at least when I delivered pizzas for the Hut back in the 80s) But then again, that whole part of 9-Mile has changed drastically.
Well, enough hijacking the thread. ;-) BTW, having ridden all of Pensacola on 25mm tires on a touring bike, I can certainly understand why someone would want to ride a mountain bike there (although, I would still prefer the skinny tires--got a flat once, crossing Three Mile Bridge--and that was before they removed the "sidewalk" giving a place for bikes to ride). ;-) (there, back on topic)
