Madison, Florida

[lambohaha]

Me, the wife - Gloria - and our son - Ethan - went for a little ride through town just before winter set in. Our town offers alot of scenery such as old homes, streets. Nothing fancy but still eye appealing some what.

"Are you coming or what?"

some older riding pics in downtown Madison

Smith-Goza mansion Civil War Hospital turned convention center

One of our restaurants. An "all you can eat" buffet. Used to be the Hillcrest Dairy Bar waaaaay back in the day

Our little Junior College. Our girls won the National Championship in softball a few years ago.

We have a lake in town that has a walking path but there`s some bike riding to be had also skating too around it.

Looks like a great place to live. If they would extend the Rail Trail across the state, I might bike out there on a camping trip.

Rail Trail? Do tell ... We do what we call "The Loop" which is a 137 mile journey through the county which is popular among roadies.

Well, I don`t get out much lol. No, seriously, he works in Tallahassee which about an hour away and I don`t live IN town like he does and I very seldom go to town. I knew, from the CL ads, that SOMEONE lived in Madison that has the same bike love -so to speak- as I but never pursued trying to hook up with this person. We had talked a time or 2 a few months ago but that was it. When he came by the house the other night to pick up that Robinson, the same bike that my son is riding in those last pics in front of that mansion, we had some great fellowship. We have alot more in common than bikes. I`ve found that he is a Christian and believes that Jesus is his personal savior just like I do. And now I look forward to more great fellowship, surrounding myself with other Christians.
How big is Madison you ask? lol We have 4 red lights lol

There is an old rail line that went east-west across Florida that was the main line years ago. It parellels 90. They fought tooth and nail to get 15 miles of it made into a bike trail here in NE Florida. At the western end, we see it continues, but the owners of land on either side don't want the bike and people traffic going through.

Where is this at? Callahan? or somewhere there abouts?

It's a good thing I don't live there... as a collector of all things Coca-cola that sign would somehow end up at my house! Great looking neighborhood!
