We loaded up the bikes and left for Myakka at 9:50. Bill and Barb were going to meet us there after renting a bike in Anna Marie. They called at 9:20 to say they were on their way. Today was Barbara's birthday, we wished her a Happy Birthday. We went all the way to the end of the park with a very nice stop at the bird walk boardwalk. Had a nice chat with a volunteer who moved from Connecticut. He was quite knowledgeable about birds and was using an app from Sibley on his phone. We stopped for lunch at the Outpost where I split and turkey and cheese sub with Libbie. I had a Florida Swamp Ape IPA beer which was 10% with double hops. It was bitter but I finished it. Libbie didn't like it at all. We finished up around 2:30. It was 84 degrees on my car thermometer. For dinner we went to the clubhouse at 6:30. We met a nice Canadian couple, Gerry and Mark (short for Margaret) from near Toronto. They are moving on to Hilton Head on Feb 1. We enjoyed the dinner conversation covering their cottage on the lake in Northern Canada and their Son in Sidney Australia. I ordered the Prime Rib with baked potato and veggies. A glass of Cabernet accompanied the meal.
