I knew it was going to be a good day when I found Roseanne at the snack table making a peanut butter and pickle sandwich. It’s not that I have a sudden fondness for the things, it was just that it was new and in my mind, new is good.

Although these days have few miles, today was only 59, they are very pleasant. I rode out with a large crowd consisting of Mary, Penny, Pat, Lee and Carolyn and we zipped along until the first SAG. I road the Southern Tier with Mary, Penny and Pat, and the Northern Tier with Mary and Penny. We know each other well and, although our riding styles aren’t always the same, I think we have great fun when we are together. Carolyn is a new-comer to touring and seems to be having a blast. Tonight at the map meeting it came out that tomorrow it will rain. Carolyn hasn’t done much biking in the rain and we assured her she is in for a treat. Lee, who is from Australia, got to see her first cypress trees in one of the many bayous we passed. They were putting on a beautiful show, knees in the air and all.

We pulled into Indianola, the home of BB King, in time for lunch and, after giving my bike and myself a good cleaning, headed down for dinner. At our map meeting Yolande and Bernadette entertained us with a fantastic song they wrote about biking and the sights we see. Too bad it was in Dutch.
The rain has already started. Tomorrow is going to be fun
