After fiddling around the RV all morning, we packed up a picnic lunch and took off for a bike ride to Vero Beach. The weather was very unsettled with only a 30% chance of rain and lots of wind but we thought we would take a chance that for 70% of the day it would not rain. And we did have enough luck during the ride to the beach as it did not rain. Because of high tide and high winds, the waves were obviously good for surfing as there were at least a dozen guys and girls out in the ocean. We enjoyed watching them while we ate lunch.
We started to ride on south but the clouds and wind got us worried so we turned around and headed back. About half way back we detoured into the Pelican Island Bird Sanctuary which is land that has been set aside for nesting birds. We were going to walk out to the observation tower except that it started to sprinkle. We thought about waiting for it to stop but decided we would rather put on our rain coats and get back. So, for the last 4 miles we rode in rain. So much for it not raining for 70% of the day. In fact, it rained the rest of the afternoon and into the night. We put 19 miles on our bikes today.
