Friday March 4th Rest day in St. Francisville LA (3V Tourist Court)
We've been out of touch recently as we've been putting in over time to make up miles on the smaller hills of East Texas and even flatter low lands of Louisiana. In the last 8 days we have covered 509 miles with a pedaling time of 46 hours. The 46 hours doesn't include the time when we pull over for rest along the road, go into stores, stop to talk to people along the route, roadside phone/e-mail etc. The total time from saddling up to arriving at our destination for the last 8 days is 68 hours. Luckily the weather has been nearly perfect with sunny skies and light winds until the rain hit today on our planned rest day. We've also had the good fortune of being well fueled by a large shipment of home made goodies from both of our families!
Due to putting in overtime on the road and extremely spotty cell coverage keeping in touch has been difficult and we feel pretty bad about that. We're planning on updating pictures and doing a more thorough update of the great people we've met and places we've seen very soon.
