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.

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.
