within a mile of somewhere

Back on the Gulf Coast for another winter training session. 9 days, average high temp of 72º, great host housing and the smell of wet dogs. Perfect.
605 is a big wide state highway, but it also has a decent bike lane that stretches 12+ miles. It makes the connection to all the back roads up north.


The futher north you get the bigger the rollers, but the grade never really gets much over 6%. But, there are endless miles of backroads to get lost on, and it is a long way between intersections. Without a tour guide, its best to keep to the cloverleaf. Maybe its time for a GPS on board the two wheeler.



Took a lazy stroll down by the coast the other day. I-90 is high speed right here so no dice on taking that to NOLA. But, at the end of the outer road you can catch a serious draft to Loraine-Cowan. Just make sure you are doing 40 mph by the time you hit the pavement.

Great to see you're out there training and having fun. It is f'ing cold here and I haven't been outside in weeks.

sometimes big companies try to take peoples property away for the better of man kind. lawyers are usually the ones that meet in the middle. I am no longer on probation, and check a bitch if needed.
