What a phenomenal day in the saddle! Day #33 of Project 2950, taking us from St. Francisville to Franklinton, LA, was a true testament to the beauty of the Pelican State's backroads. We covered 89 miles and climbed a respectable 3,100 feet of elevation, all under perfect, beautiful weather. Honestly, it was some of the best riding scenery we've encountered in recent days.
A Moment of History
The undeniable highlight of the day was encountering a magnificent antebellum era mansion. Its stately presence, set back from the road, was stunning, but what truly took our breath away was the classic, cinematic view of its tree-lined entry. It was a quintessential Southern scene, offering a beautiful contrast to the miles of open road.
Camaraderie and the Road Ahead
As always, the camaraderie among the riders continues to be our fuel. There's nothing quite like the shared experience of tackling tough climbs and enjoying fast descents together. The laughs, the encouragement, and the shared milestones make the effort feel effortless.
Mississippi Bound!
Tomorrow is a significant day! We say farewell to Louisiana and make the crossing into our next state: Mississippi! We'll be riding across the Pearl River just before lunch, a major geographical and symbolic milestone. New state, new roads, and new adventures await!
