Congratulatinos to Valerio Zamboni, who set the Florida N-S record in the following categories: Solo, Male, 60-69 age-group, standard bike. Valerio’s narrative summary: I wanted do a record because I was looking for a strong motivation to start doing long races again after 18 months of no racing due to hip surgeries  Best part was the beginning as traffic was almost none  Hardest part when I hit the keys; traffic and fatigue together started to affect my performance  Strangely I had no headwind all the way down to key west
