Thanks for all encouragement

We need all the comments and encouragement we can get people…Donna  says Mississippi is ALL UPHILL!  I said that Eleanor Roosevelt said that “nothing that isn’t hard is worth doing.”  Donna replied, “that’s a really dumb thing to say %$#@%^!!!!!”

And so we climbed, and climbed and climbed.  It’s one thing to climb a hill on a road bike with nothing but your butt to carry up…add 75 lbs to that, and hills suddenly look like the Alps.

All of you have no idea how much we appreciate all of the comments and encouragement.  At the end of day two, we are pretty tired, a little sunburned (with gorgeous tan lines), and verrrryyyy sore (soar).

So, keep em coming…more photos to come.

PS…We stopped for a cup of coffee (with our cool camping burner), and Donna accidentally stepped in a fire ant mound…luckily, I was prepared with some anti-sting wipes in my handy dandy first aid kit….haha.

See you all soon…thanks, again.

Say What Hope and Jenn and Liz???

French Camp and Beyond

We made it to our first night’s destination (French Camp, Mississippi).  Wheeeeew! Bike Touring…with 75 lbs on the rear rack….that’s a little different from the 20 lb Cervelo and Donna’s 16 lb Specialized.

Anyhow…we just got internet access and wanted to say hello to anyone who’s interested before we set out today. Natalie came down yesterday to rescue us and bring (and take back) supplies that we did or didn’t need….it sure was nice to have her roll in when we were extremely exhausted.

Check out the few photos we have posted under the photos page above.

Donna says Jennifer L. (you know who you are)…I expect a comment today.
