Easy Rider


The big news today…no flats. This is good. And it was our second shortest day of the trip so far, only 49.1 miles. What’s nice about short days is that we don’t have any pressure to make our destination at a certain time. I enjoy the challenge of pushing myself on the bike but on days like today you can take a lot more time to enjoy the people too. Riding across the country is quite a conversation starter.

Tomorrow will be interesting, we’ll be crossing the Mississippi river on our way into Greenville, MS. It’s a two-lane bridge with no shoulder which requires a police escort. I’ll let you know how that goes next time. Blessings.
