HELLO!

Welcome back. Seven years after my first ride across the United States, I am doing it again.

This blog will document my trek.

Day 35 - Silsbee to Deridder (76.5 miles)

Welcome to Louisiana! Now in our fifth state (out of nine). As of today, I’ve ridden 2014 miles since coming to California. Very nice riding day, not much elevation change and light winds. Did run into some showers at the end of the ride. Stopped at DQ for a Smores blizzard one mile from the RV park in Deridder, Louisiana.

Mile 50, welcome to Louisiana

On the road, from Dan’s vantage point. That’s John and me at the front.

Since there was no “Welcome to Texas” sign when we entered Texas in El Paso, this picture is the sign when entering from Louisiana.
