The morning got off to a rough start when Komoot led me off track. Usually it does a pretty good job of finding alternate routes that avoid busy streets but this morning it failed me. It took me 2 miles out of town to a dead end road. I had to turn around and head back into town. About halfway back to town I opened up Apple Maps and selected “Bike Route,” it showed me an alternate that turned out to work pretty well. It added an extra 3 miles to today’s ride and it also added a significant amount of climbing, but it was beautiful.
Got to my campground at 3:30 pm. Set up my tent and fixed dinner. Tonight I’m having Grilled Chicken Jambalaya, Creole Style. I’m 41 miles from the nearest town behind me and 31 miles from the nearest town ahead. No cell service, so this won’t post until I reach the next town.
My reward for starting the day off course.
Hitchhiker trying to catch a ride. Yes. I look like a flower.
A Brooks No. 17 Bicycle Saddle
