More wind today. But we made it safely, with strength and stamina to Jackson (actually Clinton), Mississippi. Today's ride was 71.9 miles. The pace was a little faster today but still slow because of the wind.
The 71.9 miles today was beautiful, as has been all the days. Today we rode 10 miles or so along side a resevoir just before getting to Jackson. We saw all kinds of wildlife along this stretch and then just after leaving this section I saw a family of deer right by the road just staring at me. I can only imagine what they were thinking as they saw me pass by.
If I wasn't saddle sore I would be feeling really good. My legs and lungs are holding out perfectly. But after four days on the bike my saddle is reaking havoc. Oh well, it was expected. Part of the process of riding 444 miles in 5 days.
We finish up tomorrow. Its hard to believe the final day has arrived. Preston and I have planned a parade lap around downtown Natchez when we arrive. Nobody will know what is going on besides us. But it will be fun to do anyway. Kind of like they do on the final day of Tour de France.
I'll do ride reflections in the wrap up post. Here are some pics from Days Two through Four. The pics ended up at the top for some reason.
