Sammyrides DAILY BLOG APRIL 11, 2011



 Today the bikers left St. Francisville at 7:30 AM in order to cover the 65 miles to Amite.  Along with a head wind which they had to fight off, there were also hills and small towns with tiny streets and drivers who were less than always polite.  The bikers were also chased by a bushy tailed black dog who met his match when he chased Adolf!  Adolf, 1...dog, 0!
Passed thru Jackson
In addition to the 65 miles, the hills, the loose dogs and the wind, there was the constant whir of trucks whipping by.  But, at the end of the day, around 3:30 PM, the tired riders pulled into the Comfort Inn parking lot, into their rooms and onto their beds!

Took a break at the station

Kudos to John Bear who actually rode the entire route after his recent bout with surgery.  It is no surprise that Adolf did the same.  The two Mikes shared the distance and shared the driving today.....

Train is no match for our bikes



Michael, Adolf, Mike B. and John, send their love and best wishes to you all!!!       From Lois
