Thursday, April 28, 2011 Biloxi, MS to Dauphin Island, AL 69.5 miles Levi, the rider I met yesterday, caught up to me. He had stopped before me yesterday, but I’m slow. Unlike most riders, however, he slowed down and rode with me until we turned different ways, about 20 miles! I’m so glad I got […]
Wednesday, April 27 Buccaneer State Park to Biloxi, MS 35 miles Not That Lovely of a Day at the Beach I had planned to ride another twenty miles to Gautier today, but the wind kept getting stronger and the sky kept getting darker. The wind wasn’t that bad. It was blowing across the road from […]

Thursday, April 21, 2011 Montgomery to Kingwood 24 miles by bike 20 miles by car I got an early start this morning, just before seven, as the sun is just finishing coming up. I was 44 miles away from my aunt and uncle’s house, and I hoped to be there by midday. The wind was […]
Wednesday, April 20, 2011 Ledbetter back to Burton by car Burton to Montgomery 65 miles Perhaps busy is an overstatement. But it feels like I did a lot today.
