Hi everyone!!!
Well, we are off to another day of fun riding - we spent the night in an adorable Bed and Breakfast in Europa, Miss. It is an extremely small town and we are sure to be the talk of the town because we are going to be in the town newspaper - we had a spectacular hostess who went out of her way to accommodate us. The second picture is all of us at 6 am in the front of her house. This would be a good time to tell you who all was with us - Doc Dave and Carol Moore, Coach Arlene from Alabama - behind her is her granddaughter, Tara - a super kid, myself, Clarence and Merryann from Alabama - Clarence drove our second SAG wagon and was often seen driving ahead and then riding his bike back 5-10 miles to meet us and riding back to van - his wife (for my relatives has to be Aunt Gerry's sister), Randy, Carl and Cindy - Carl reminded me so much of Steve Wilson! This is a super group of people who blended and have had a fantastic week together!
As you can see by the sign with Randy and I we were headed to Tupelo and on to Belmont for the night. The morning was gorgeous and quiet with lots of birds singing and just peace and quiet and green. We have seen very little wildlife - several roadkill snakes, squirrels, and armadillos. For all of you cyclists, this is a dream world - great road - I feel like it must be Lance Armstrong's training route - SAG wagons come along and hand you water when you are so very hot.
All went well until we hit Tupelo where traffic started to pick up and then we ran into road contruction - one lane very rough - loaded up all bikes and drove past for 2-3 miles. Soon we were on our way again away from all of the noise - peace and quiet and finally a small town of Belmont - hotel we stayed in - owner gave us all front door keys, left to go to a funeral 20 miles away and left me in charge of hotel - oh hello, small town America!
Randy and Carl completed their second century, Arlene, DAve and I did 93 miles.
Randy and Carole
