Day 28: To Deridder, La

Published on 2010-02-28 by Bryan Carbone

Sunday February 28, 2010, 68 miles (109 km) - Total so far: 1,191 miles (1,917 km)

We woke up bright and early to blue skies and the sun rising up. It was a little weird sleeping at the police station, but free, so awesome. We hit the road after grabbing a bacon, egg and cheese on a biscuit and some coffee. It was smooth riding for most of the day, not too windy, pretty good roads with a shoulder, and pretty flat. The temperature reached into the 60's I think, with no clouds blocking the sun. Just great riding conditions all around. It was about 62 miles to the campground. Panning for a zero day tomorrow, we wanted to grab some beers and relax. So Mike, Ryan and I shot over to Wal-Mart to pick up some supplies and beer. We get to the beer section, and there's a sign "no alcohol sales on sundays." Lame. Deridder doesn't sell liquor on Sundays. So we're just hanging out for the rest of the night. Rain is forecast for tomorrow, so we'll probably all huddle inside the laundry room to avoid going crazy in our tents all day. Then Tuesday should be into Texas.
