Day 31
We decided to make some progress before the storm, so we rode to Bogalusa to settle in for the storm, 26 miles and 700 feet elevation gain. It rained during our ride; a surprise because it was not supposed to start until 10:00. When we arrived at Bogalusa, Cousin Duffy ventured to find us a …
Day 30
We rode for 112 miles and 3180 feet of bicycling elevation gain from Livonia to Franklinton. On the way we crossed the great Mississippi River; rode through Jackson est. 1815, and coincidently the next town after Jackson was Clinton. Jackson was a quaint town of brick and white; and Clinton was a town of mixed …
Day 29
We cut our ride short because of a flat tire. We left Kinder, through New Roads, by water front, over the Mississippi River in Jarreau, then on to our final stop in Livonia. Because we ran out of sunlight, we ended the ride with 85 miles and 570 feet of bicycling elevation gain. This ride …
Day 28
We rode from Kountze, Tx to Oberlin, LA. We set a new record of biking 123 miles and 1311 feet of elevation gain. Before we left at sunrise, at the Super8, Tisha made sure we had everything we needed for breakfast and accomplished a printout and much needed scan for me. So, we rode through …
Day 27

Day 26
We rode from La Grange to Navasota; 69 miles with bicycling elevation gain of 3534 feet. The countryside had some nice views; cousin Duffy had a battle with a diesel truck not moving over for us while we had no shoulder; he put his arm out and looked to push the truck toward the center …
Day 25
We rode 60 miles from Del Valle outside Austin to LaGrange and over 549 feet of bicycling elevation. The goal this day was to have some uninterrupted time at a computer. Our target was the town of Bastrop. While at Bastrop I visited the Law Office of Derek R Van Gilder on Main Street. Derek, …
Day 24
So on Day 23 we stayed the night at the Best Western in Johnson City; front desk clerk Emma set me up with access to a computer and gave cousin Duffy and I a good recommendation for dinner across from the Blanco County Courthouse. Emma arrived at work today to set up breakfast with a …
Day 23
We rode 62 relatively easy miles through Kerrville and Fredericksburg on way to Johnson City. Bicycling elevation gain was 1935 feet. We took busier routes than the ACA had planned for us, cutting 20 miles off our planned course. We went by the LBJ state and national park on route 290 and more than a …
