Today was a big day of riding, 74 miles today, 438 miles this week and 2042 miles total. We completed Texas and biked into Louisiana. We are now two thirds complete on our journey across the country with about 1000 miles to go.
Last night we were camping next to a honky-tonk that played until 1am and near train tracks, so sleep was a little iffy. We woke to 45 degrees and heavy dew but still managed to pack and be on the road by 8:15. No wind and flat allowed us to make good time. With few stops we made it to DeRidder by 2pm.
*I have been watching the news for word on the injured cyclists from the crash yesterday. No news. Please keep them in your prayers.
