Biking Along SR 24

I almost reached the city of Archer, just west of Gainesville on my bike. The only thing that stopped me from attempting it was the lack of anything resembling a bike lane. Duration of trip from start to finish: 2 hrs. Except for a few traffic-light ridden spots, I was in racing mode. Thank goodness for that new seat on my bike or my butt would be cursing at me! Sometimes, it's just way too nice of a day to be working on term projects and I just need that outdoor exercise time more than anything else!
