Day 67, Stage 45 - Prentiss to Hattiesburg43 miles in 3hrs 15 mins (only picture stops)
Total distance - 3,858 miles
A delightfully short stage today down the dead quiet converted old railway line into Hattiesburg with only a tortoise, some llama, donkeys and a couple of ostriches for company. If anything it was perhaps too short as it turned out to be mighty difficult to motivate myself for such a short trip but the lure of finding a laundry managed to drive me on.
Managed to track down a bike shop here (the Hattiesburg Bicycle Center) who very kindly retrued the rear wheel for free. Very much appreciated.
Looking forward to an early start tomorrow and a near on 100 mile run back to be beside water again as I head down the road to the Gulf of Mexico.
Alright mate,
ReplyDeleteThe frying pan combined with those biceps is a scary proposition for the golf course later in the year. As for the animal spotting it sounds like ewe are having a whale of a time. Anyone who says you aren't doing an amazing thing is lion. You otter Gopher it.
(Sorry, I appreciate that wasn't very emu-sing. I'll get my goat.)

BTW - not sure when you are back to the UK after the Miami party, but if you're around July 30th we're having ex-LEH Healthcare team drinks in town somewhere.
A 43 mile stage? I thought you didn't get out of bed for anything less than 70 these days? :-)
