Hello every one, 1000 plus miles!! Yes we left Baton Rouge this morning at 7:am and arrived in Kinder Louisiana. 115 miles in 7 hours and my legs are screaming! No I am fine just a little sore but taking a day off yesterday was good, my body need it. We are getting ready to eat some Tuna again! Hahaha I don't think I will ever eat Tuna again after this trip :) Today was a very good day for riding, it was all flat roads and very little wind. Here is what I eat and drink daily during the ride, more or less: 6 bottles of gatorade, two waters, one recovery bottle and two cokes, two cans of tuna, one apple, one bannana, two healthy bars, 3-5 energy jells, i-2 small bags of chips, chocolate bar (this does not include breakfast or dinner). I have only lost 2 pounds and hopefully I will not lost much more than that. As I metion earlier, yesterday was a day off for me so I did loundry and worked out at the YMCA for a little bit. I am happy to be back on the move, I enjoyed the day off but this is better. Except when I get flat tires, I do not like that very much specially when it happens like it did today: After lunch I pluged my cell phone in the car so it would chrage, I told kate to go ahead for the next 30 miles and I would catch up (we are trying to save money on gas) the road had a nice big shoulder so I felt safe to ride alone for a while. Well sure enough, 3-4 miles to get to where Kate was waiting for me...pffffssss, yeah a flat. I had not place a spare in my sit bag after I used the other spare on a prebvious flat. SO, I had to walk, if you know me you know I hate to walk, specially after biking for 50 miles!! Yea that was fun, specially since I had to walk with out shoes so as not to ruin my biking shoes. But we made, we are here in Kinder Louisiana and tomorrow if everything goes well, after 109 miles we will be in Beaumont Texas! Please stay tuned:) Ascary To Liliana and Ava: Hola mis amores;) I hope you girls are having a good weekend. Make sure you are good little girls, do not give Yaya and Yayo too much trouble ok? I love you girls and I miss you very much. I think about you all the time. Today I rode my bike in the fog! it was very nice actually, I went out on the road earlier and it was very foggy! I liked that a lot it was like riding on clouds! I am going to go to bed and I will make sure that I dream about your girls. Please be nice to you sister Sulema and to each other ok? I love you girls and I can't wait to see you. Love, Papi PS. tell your mami I love her
