Yesterday morning we had a lovely breakfast and then rolled out of New Orleans around 7am. It was an 83 mile ride into Baton Rouge. At first I was little worried about that many miles after I hadn't ridden in 9 days and becuase I wasn't sure the bike was all adjusted properly. However, we got on the road and there was a bit of a tail
Wind in the morning combined with a non humid 90 degrees, and well we we crusing! We had 60 miles done before noon time and were thoroughly enjoying it. I honestly think this was the best ride conditions of the summer so far! The route itself wasn't too eventful as we rode on LA route 61 for 75 of 83 miles.
Along the route we passed a few establishments which I found imtersting: a gas staion and casino combo?!?! I made a stop later in the afternoon to see a chiropractor because my low back was really hurting from working on the floor boards, and then biking 83 miles... But I'm already feeling better. A few of us have discussed going for massages in Texas! (And of course when we get to San Francisco)
The pastor at the church we are staying at took us all out for pizza at a cut local shop which was a nice treat. Today we are building in Baton Rouge and I'm assigned to do the group journal so I'll paste that entry here too.
Thanks to the Spiegleman's for sponsoring June 29! They asked to sponsor a nice day, and well this was a vey nice day :)
I anyone would like to come to San Francisco to see I finish and celebrate, let me know! We will arrive on August 17th and have a nice lunch time celebration and then spend a few days in the city.
