so the storm hit and Reid and I got soaking but we managed to find a pikey caravan where we took it easy. i took the following day off so Reid decided to have a rest too. Had a nice time in St. Francisville having some local food and getting suplies.
yesterday was a solid day of cycling. 90 miles. yes we were knackered but made it to a brilliant campground which had a bar nextdoor. encountered some sketchy banter from the locals who dont seem to have made it into 21st century but it was entertaining none the less. had some cajun crawfish for dinner which sorted me out after a few drinks back at the bar. think i am gonna save some money after this trip in london as it doesnt take much to get drunk now. love it.
today we have made it to oberlin for lunch after some pretty shocking roads but it has been flat so progress is being made. bumped into a woman from Reading who is cycling around the outside of the states. she was just starting the trip and raising money for kids in venezuala. Its been fun having reid about as he bikes at a similar pace and it's amusing to discuss the backward hillbillies. hoping to be in texas tomorrow.
