Mobile to Biloxi

Today we crossed our 3rd state line today from Alabama into Mississippi! There was an awesome state line sign to commemorate the experience. The weather this morning was great. It was cloudy and cool and we rode leisurely on some back roads and enjoyed the conversation between riders. Around mile 27 I heard a loud noise and turned around to see a fellow rider had fallen into the road and was pretty scraped up. There was no where around to clean her wound so we improvised until sweep could get there with the med kit. Luckily both her and her bike were okay and she was able to keep riding. We had a pretty great lunch, with real bread for sandwiches and took our time making it to the host. Stopping several places to look for postcards. We had a bomb dinner tonight that even included vegetable curry and then got a chance to visit and look around one of the casinos. Biloxi was way cooler than expected as well as the ride here. We encountered nothing but nice people and I can't wait to ride to New Orleans tomorrow! We get one full day off and then build for 5! My parents are meeting us in the big Easy and I'm pretty excited for that as well.
