In the end, I didn’t go as far as I hoped, but not a bad ride. Now I can feel better about avoiding the sun for the rest of this miserably hot weekend 🥵

Here’s a nice view from today’s #LeveeRide of the Hales Boggs bridge in #StCharles Parish, LA.
The past three day’s worth of rides have been windy and cold, but I managed to hit a distance equivalent to 10% of the Appalachian Trail since I started tracking my walking and riding back in December with #TheDistance iOS app. It’s definitely been a good motivator when there’s less than ideal weather!

It’s a beautiful evening for some #outdoor activities. There’s only a little sunlight left in the day here so grab some while you still can!

Another successful #LeveeRide this time with an intense #fog over the #MississippiRiver. I made some substantial progress on #TheDistance as well (now at ~4% of the #AppalachianTrail).

Made some progress on my new goal via #TheDistance on today’s #LeveeRide. Let’s see how long it will take to do the equivalent of the Appalachian Trail!

I took the bike out for a quick joyride around the #ChristmasBonfires in St. John. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to ride out to the giant bullfrog bonfire in St. James before they light it up!
