Week 1 in review with pictures

100+ degree heat, no map, lost in Denton, but we find our way to the RV!

42.6 miles to the KOA in Mt Pleasant, TX
The day is cooler, but still hot, we both look forward to this “easy” short ride.

Day 4 - 7/16
65.9 miles to the KOA in Texarkana, TX
Longest day yet, fast pace on a very hot day, construction makes last 10 miles fun - NOT
Day 4 pictures

Day 5 - 7/17
0 miles on the bike, 127 miles in the RV to Crossett RV Park in Crossett, AR
Storms and lack of a closer RV park means a day off the bike
Day 5 pictures

Day 6 - 7/18

10 miles on the bike, 171 miles in the RV to Frog Hollow Campground in Grenada, MS
A late start, another flat tire, and questionable roads shorten today's ride and we decide to skip a campground to gain time
