The ride begins today. The title is Latin and the motto of Zeeland which is in the southern part of The Netherlands. A rough translation is ‘I struggle but I’ll survive’. The motto is on a hat that my close friend Ryan gave me at my retirement party. After seeing the Delta Works in Zeeland and hearing the story of the great North Sea flood that killed thousands and what the Dutch did to keep that from ever happening again, I can find refuge in that motto when the road seems long and my bones are tired.
My wife and I drove up to Shreveport yesterday. We drove part of LA1 between Natchitoches and Shreveport and although the road is good there is not much to stop at. I may be knocking on doors to refill my water bottles…
Today’s ride is from the TX-AK-LA boarder to Shreveport. Should be a easy but good first day of under 50 miles.

ReplyDeleteWay to go buddy, I'm proud of you! I hope you will meet lots of interesting people but that shouldn't be a problem in my favorite state Louisiana.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Ryan

ReplyDeleteDrop some Prell into a fountain on the way, and make sure there are no O2 Acetylene tanks left on any abandoned bridges.
