84 miles
Roadkill: armadillo (one very fresh), raccoon, oppossum, snake (very big one)
Today's ride was across the Mississippi delta, flat, flat, flat. Saw rice fields, crayfish bogs and miles of flat. Roads were better than yesterday's, but were just as straight and flat.
Highlight of the day was being chased by a dog...the kind that runs out without a sound and starts barking at your heels. Luckily I must have yelled loud enough, since he didn't bother anyone after me. Again the highest elevation was two overpasses. One went over the railroad tracks. Amtrak has a route that just about follows the Southern Tier route that we are on.
Hi JoAnn -- Annette and I say "Hi!" Keep Rolling!
ReplyDeleteScary dog situation, but sounds like you saved the day!
ReplyDeleteI understand you have a day off on a plantation (with no Internet access) ... ENJOY & Rejuventate! Perhaps you'll be privilaged to some Jambalaya, and a little cajan music down on the bayou!
I'm jealous of the awesome workouts you're getting and the great strengthening & toning you're doing for your body while enjoying such an awesome get-away!You're going to be one very strong tortoise!! lol (& your category is only relative, of course; even if you're a tortoise in your group, you're a hare in comparison to me & the average Joe.)
Btw, you do know why a bicycle can't stand on it's own, right? ... it's two-tired.
Wishing you sparse traffic and wide, smooth shoulders!
Appreciate your pun! and the Hemingway quote. He obviously had some bicycling experience.
