Another cold day and a long ride.

On our walk to the grocery store yesterday we spotted this sign in a lawyers office, we didn’t have a camera so we stopped to take the photo as we left Covington. I think it was a joke, but I am really not so sure in this area.

We followed Highway 190 all the way from Covington to Denham Springs. We are making our way up to New Roads to rejoin the ACA maps. Although we enjoyed the gulf coast route, it is time to follow the southern tier route again.

Highway 190 was a long, straight, boring road. There was a wide shoulder for the most part. We were amazed at the amount of Wal-Mart trucks that passed us. There were three distribution centres along this road – Wal-Mart, Winn-Dixie and Save A lot all had distribution centres along this road.
We arrived in Denham Springs and checked out three different motels, they were all above our budget. I had spotted the Days Inn on the internet but hadn’t booked ahead. After checking out the other motels we arrived at the Days Inn, Ralf asked for the internet price. We couldn’t have that because, it has to be booked on line, but she checked to see if there were any managers specials and there were, we got the room cheaper than the internet price. Good customer service.
I agree, beer and fruit should not be mixed. Beer don’t need any thing added to it. It’s healthy enough the way it is. Old Merchant store looks interesting. Not sure that sign in the law firm is very smart, don’t they know people shoot lawyers. Looks like you two are making pretty good time. Be safe and enjoy. We are suppose to be warmer today (36F?????) and 4-6 inches of snow. Oh joy.
Snow, snow and more snow – you should get a fat tire bike:)
Don’t think so, have enough trouble riding what I got. Would be fun though, I bet. Now if you two bought fat tire bikes you could tour across the Northern states, how about that?
Have you noticed the amount of times I am complaining about the cold! We are still waiting for it to warm up, do not like riding in below 10 degrees C
