Yet again I extended the mileage, seemed like a good idea at the time!
The route did not go right into the city, stopping short about fourteen miles west. I was making good time so decided to go into the city and the. backtrack to the camp site. Quite a fun ride on comparatively flat roads.
I had started the day with a ferry ride across Mobile bay, which is on the Mississippi sound. From the ferry we looked out on the Gulf of Mexico, not surprisingly a lot of oil platforms.
The cycling from here on in was on several slivers of land surrounded by water. A coastal route that started in Alabama, through into Florida, although our campsite tonight is back in Alabama, 14 miles back west of the city.
Lovely spot to camp my tent is about eight feet from the waters edge. On arrival this afternoon I went straight in for a dip in full cycling gear. Seemed the only sensible thing to do!
