  • We’re out of Texas! (And Merryville Louisiana Rocks!)

    So yesterday we pushed for our longest day of the trip to make it to Silsbee where Bubba invited us to stay and eat with his Pampered Peddlers.  And wow was that worth the extra miles!  He took us in and treated us as special guests.  The company of other cross-country cyclists alone was well worth it, but…
