If only it was home! We rode another 87 miles on the beautiful Natchez Trace crossing into the northwest corner of Alabama on our way to Florence. We left Tupelo with wet roads, drizzle and morning traffic. Things dried out later with the light winds and overcast skies making it a great day for cycling.
Today was a first, Richard and I beat our SAG vehicle to the SAG stop. But since we didn’t know the Pharr Mounds Overlook was the designated stop, we kept going. Once we figured out what happened and that it would be mile 64 before the next stop we started looking for alternate water sources. We happened upon Tishomingo State Park, a mile off the Trace, boasting not one, but two 18 hole disc golf courses. It was tempting, but we decided to settle for just the water bottle refill.
We’re only 33 miles from Tennessee, one state away from Virginia. Today brought us 96 miles closer.
