Crossed the Mississippi, had a flat, staying in a cool B&B in Amite, LA





























 Pretty crazy day! Had a flat in the first 15 miles. Staple from the bike lane. Started to get warm today. 77 miles in the saddle. My friends at Olympus recognized me today for my retirement and invited me to join the National Sale Meeting via Teams. Really a touching surprise. Finished the day checking into a historic B&B built in 1885.

    Congrats with the retirement although I think you get an award for traveling the furthest to get to your party! LOL

Tomorrow we finish and lose our super human metabolism.

  We had two great trails to ride on today. What a treat to get off the busy highways. It has been quite the odyssey to get here. Amy is a rock. Pam has been the most amazing blessing to us. She has served us better than we deserve. When you get up early everyday and ride lots of miles, you are grouchy. She has been our logistics expert. I have had two ladies and a dog put up with my crap for 7 weeks. I am humbled and undeserving. Thanks to Amy for the tireless planning and riding. Almost home!

In Gulf Shores, AL tonight.

 It took about 30 minutes to exit Mississippi this morning. We dodged the rain until our last 30 minutes of the ride today. Made the 9:30am ferry across Mobile Bay. It costs $12 to take a tandem bike across in case you need to know that some time. The ferry saves us close to 70 miles. Lots of damage still in the gulf shore beach area. Rode a nice bike trail for several miles. Contemplating a trip to Lambert’s for dinner and a visit to Buccee’s.
