GCCMail: Trip Through Palatka

Dear Dr. Mowery,
I've made the ride to St. Augustine several times. I agree with the rout
outlined by Michael Wohl with one exception. Heading east 26 narrows as it
exits Melrose. Its the only part of the trip without a "bike lane." It
also has some serious rolling hills that serve to obscure your visibility.
I prefer to turn left on 219 about 1/4 miles outside Melrose. It is less
hilly and much less traveled. It heads a little more to the NE, goes to
the north of Swan Lake, and then connects to 100. The road condition is a
little worse and it adds about an extra 1/2 mile to the trip. Even so I
think it is a safer alternative. I hope this helps. Charlie McGee
