Good ride into Silsbee, TX









 We are officially out of the desert and into the second half of our trip. Fog and cloud cover during our ride today. We saw more big dead snakes today on the road than we have seen all ride. Our ride lengths each day are partially determined by having a hotel we can stay in at the end. Finding hotels that will accommodate our security guard Finn can be a challenge. So we have stayed in some interesting places. Just last night in route to our hotel, Pam and Amy had to jump into action because the hotel for last night called us and cancelled less than an hour before we checked in.

  1. I'm astounded that there aren't more pet friendly places.

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.

In Gainesville. Two days left.
