Today we continued on the M trail for another 15 miles. The overhead metro commuter rail stopped and was replaced by a two lane, divided road that only allowed buses . This system fed commuters to the rail line. Next to it was a paved trail. Since it was Saturday, there was very little bus traffic and we had the trail pretty much to ourselves!!!

Dade County has a B-bike type loaner system in place. Some of the bikes need a little maintenance!!!

After a second breakfast n Homestead, we were on Card Sound Road. Card Sound paralleled Hwy 1 but had a LOT LESS traffic. Although it went to North Key, before turning south to Key Largo, and added 6 miles to our day, it was the way to go.

Nice riding in rural areas.

Soon we were on Key Largo, Hwy 1, and all the traffic.

On we rode until we came to the Seafarer Resort where we had our own little cottage . . .

nice digs . . .

. . . with a bedroom, living room and full kitchen!!!

. . . and a nice beach . . .

. . . which I used to help ‘decompress’ from all the urban riding!!!

. . . we enjoyed a nice sunset before we headed over to the Ballyhoo Restaurant  for drinks, appetizers and a lovely fish dinner!!!
