The Moores have left Texas














Louisiana welcomed us with thunderstorms and tornado warnings. Strong 70 mile ride today. Texas was good to us but we must go east. We are currently eating Cajun food in Deridder, LA. At the end of the ride just when we were loading the bike on the truck we noticed the back wheel of the bike was flat. It must have happened as we were pulling into the parking lot. We replaced the tire and tube this evening. Lubed the chains and aired-up the tires. All set for tomorrow. Tonight’s motel has the worst handyman on the planet. The half table that is screwed into the wall was not anchored to a stud and it collapsed. We are learning the ropes of cheap motel America. Some of the motels we have stayed at have done really well. It’s a bit like buying a lottery ticket.

Amy’s Birthday Ride!

 We celebrated Amy’s last birthday in her 40’s by riding 58 miles. Tallahassee is behind us and we are staying in a cabin in Madison, FL. Passed a big alligator on the side of the road in our last 10 miles. Rode through Ray Charles birthplace. Planning a relaxing afternoon. Details of our Thursday 10AM finish at St Augustine beach are posted in a picture above. We will pull into the parking area by the fishing pier.  Upon arrival and we will take the finish picture at the Atlantic Ocean. If you plan to be there please let us know in the comments. Everyone in attendance will get a plaque, t-shirt or handshake.

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.
