Looks like I'll be making the drive over to Ft. Walton Beach with The Dad tomorrow morning to assess the hurricane damage. I'm glad I got in a good training ride this morning, because it will probably be Wednesday before I can ride again. Just a few minutes before The Dad called, I got a call from Joey D., who started racing down here, but now lives in Raleigh NC. He's on his way down right now because his father is having heart surgery on Monday. Gina's dad decided to use some of his US Air frequent flyer miles, before they disappear, and flew into town this morning. Odd coincidence. Hopefully, the drive won't be too tedious. I don't know if it's possible to drive from Pensacola to Ft. Walton on Hwy. 98 right now, and I know that I-10 is shut down across the bay since the bridge collapsed in the hurricane, so we may end up way up on good old Highway 90 for a while. Either way, I'm guessing the usual 5-hour drive will be more like 7.
