Day 44
Amite to Popularville,MS
Miles: 75 Elevation: 2225feet Winds: 6-8mph ENE Flats: 1
We surpassed the 2000 mile marker today!
A long day but oh so satisfying to ride 75 miles, but we all agree that doing it once in a while is fine but not everyday thank you very much. Not sure how the big groups do 80-90mile day rides, day after day.
We crossed the Pearl and Bogue Chitto Rivers. We entered our 6th state , Mississippi today. It was a very hilly 75 miles and expect that after tomorrow's ride the hilly days are behind us, but I do believe I've heard that before on this trip.
Lyle & Marti rode with us again today, our cyclist friend Abby will leave us tonight as she plans to stay in New Orleans for a few days to tour the city. We are in New Orleans for the night and part of the morning. We will travel back to Popularville , get on our bikes and hope we gets to Wiggins before the thunderstorms come.
Today's ride: 75 miles (121 km)
Total: 2,071 miles (3,333 km)
