Today, the riders proceeded the 50 miles from Livingston, Texas to Jasper, Texas. The weather was threatening all day with warnings of heavy rain and hail. Very little of it actually happened. For a change, John Bear did not get a flat tire. Yay!!! This was the result of Mike L. telling him not to put all of his weight on the rear tire when he rides. He has adjusted his position and his bike will no doubt benefit from this change. This afternoon was also laundry day and after washing their clothes in the hotel room sink, the riders hung them to dry on the bike racks in back of the sag wagon. I guess you go with whatever is available!!!!
Mike L. spoke with Jeff Johnson who is the director of Flolrida’s AARP branch, and it is hoped that AARP will join in the celebration of April 30th, when the riders return to SCC.
Tomorrow, the riders will cross the border of Texas and enter Louisiana. Texas was a memorable month…wonderful people, great scenery, decent roads for the most part and land which goes on forever. The riders are optimistic that Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama will be as wonderful and accommodating as Texas was. Less than a month to go!!!
Tomorrow, Louisiana!
From their last day in Texas, Michael, Adolf, Mike B. and John, send their love and best wishes to you all..... from Lois
