Yesterday evening, the riders ate at a pizza restaurant where they met their waiter, Lance Bourgeois, a young man who is planning a career as an electrical engineer and who showed great interest in assisting the Sammyrides project by spreading the word around to his working associates as well as other patrons of the restaurant and his friends. Meeting a young man of such outstanding caliber buoyed the spirits of the riders. With young people like Lance, our nation can continue to excel, no doubt about it....thank you Lance!!!!
Today, the riders visited Baton Rouge's major hospital, Our Lady of the Lake. There, they were escorted to the hospital's children's playroom where they interacted with little Anna, one of our heroes, who signed the riders' shirts and permitted them to snap her picture.
After that, it was on to Walmart for loading up more water, Gatorade and energy bars for the long days ahead. Just a few more weeks to go!!!
Tomorrow, it is back on the long road and a 60 mile bike ride to Kentwood, Louisiana. The weather will be a challenge as there is a prediction for heavy thunderstorms throughout the day.
From Louisiana, Michael, Adolf, Mike B. and John, send their love and best wishes to you all!!!
From Lois
