Natchitoches to Elm Grove

The ride today was awesome. It was a short 53 miles and I managed to make it with no flats after 5 the previous day. Kristina, Hannah and I killed it to lunch on what we deemed the "local pain train". We made it to Elm Grove by 1:30 and we were glad we pushed the pace because our host was an AMAZING alum from P to S last year. There was a lake that we immediately jumped in and fresh fruit smoothies. Bomb dip and this was all before dinner! Burritos rounded outvote evening and bellies as well as fresh strawberry pies from Marcus' mom! There was an electric cart that we used to go pick peaches and berries from the orchard on the property. Probably a trip highlight so far. Even despite the mile long gravel road to end out day
