DeRidder, LOUISIANA! - Tue 3/27

Today we left Texas and entered Louisiana!  It seems like we have been in Texas forever.  The day was warm and overcast and the terrain was mostly flat so we logged a lot of miles again.  We've completed just over 2000 miles (map miles) and have just over 1000 miles to go.  I suggested doing shorter rides but Ruth said she prefers the satisfaction of long rides.  She's become quite a tough biker!

We tried something different today.  We had lunch twice.  The goal was to  complete our ride without being starving and weak from lack of food.  So first we stopped at Sonic for lunch and then later we stopped at a picnic area for peanut butter sandwiches.  It worked pretty well.  Now I need to work on drinking enough to stop getting dehydrated.

Miles: 91.1  Average: 12.6
