Miami to Key West on a Bamboo Bicycle.

Here we go again. Life without a plan slips by to easily. So I'm formulating another ride. Miami to Key West.

Night 1 

Since I'll be getting to Miami via Amtrak around 6:30 pm, I'm going to overnite in the Miami area. The farthest south I can get via public transportation (with my bike) is the Dadeland South via the Metrorail. So all I need to do is make a quick 5 mile trip from the metro station to an AirBnB. 

Day 2

This route will include about 15 miles of off road gravel riding along a levy. I'll split the trip with an overnite camp at Long Key. I'm thinking hammock camping. That'll be a first.

 

Day 3

Once I tear down the campsite, I'll get to enjoy a nice 70 mile ride across 7 mile bridge and on down to the Southern most point. 

Doubling down 

That sounds cool right? I'm thinking if doubling down and doing it out of my comfort zone, not as a MAML (Middle Aged Man in Lycra), but as a human in regular clothes. It's Key West right. How can I not roll in in a tutu or thong. 

Tripling down 

But wait, let's triple down. I think I'll do it on a bike I build. Why not Bamboo? 

Did I mention this is all happening as part of our New Years Eve weekend.  Ya'll are really going to want to subscribe to this one.
