Day Twenty Eight - Smooth Sailing and Four Week Stats

Today we stayed on Route 90 all day, riding 70 miles to Scott, LA, a suburb of Lafayette, LA. 90 was a welcome respite from the insanity of I-10 where bicycles are not allowed in Louisiana (after yesterday, we understand why). We fought a modest headwind again all day but managed to average 15mph for over three hours and had knocked off 52 miles before lunch.

We are spending the night at an awesome campground after making a delicious dinner, which included pork chops, potatoes, and zucchini.

Our RKOTD (road kill of the day) was the armadillo. As we saw three of them - that's three times the number we saw in two weeks in Texas!

Today marks the end of our fourth week with only 12 days remaining and 11 days of riding left! The fourth week stats are as follows:

Miles: 1,914

Flats: 39 (have not had to change a tire in the last 36 hours!)

Road Kill Zoo: alligator, armadillos, frogs, wild boar, turtles

Live Animals: tons of birds, dolphins

Unbelievable Sightings: virtually every city we come to, there are both a Dollar General store and Family Dollar store! Also, at the grocery store today, we saw the ad for bird cleaning services, WHAT?

Gatorade: stats remain the same, but we are thankful that through the month of September, most stations offer two 32oz. Gatorades for $3!!

Destiny Rescue TTD: $8,755!!
