DAY 5. It is hard to believe that we have only been here for 5 days. As usual, here are today's stats. Pa rode 79.90 miles it took him 5:34:02. His average speed was 14.4 mph and his max speed was 22.8 mph. His total ascent was 3,012 feet and his total descent was 3,091 feet.
I love that superhero pose we should call him Bike Man.
Mississippi, I love you but you are literally just flat land and trees. I think you should try and be more creative.
Took the picture to show where I am compared to the start. More visible if you enlarge the map

I learned today that these trees can live up to 1,000 years old. They look good for 1,000. Except, of course, for the 2 dead ones.
I think that bridge could use a little WD-40. And maybe a new bridge.
Pa made it to mile marker 100. Only 100 miles to go.
Perfect place for eating a banana. It’s the Pearl River which further south divides MS and LA

Todays joke is frog themed.
Why did the frog sit on a lily pad? He didn’t want to leaf!

Now here is a word from Pa:
Today was relatively easy. The temp was about 45° and things warmed relatively quickly. The road was essentially flat so I was able to make good time. I took the opportunity to stop and read a lot of the signs that were posted. I especially enjoyed my stop at the bend of the Pearl River and riding along the Reservoir was also quite scenic. The only problem I had was trying to figure out how to get to the rv site. I had hoped that there was a frontage road at I-20 but I could not find it so I had to back track on the Parkway for about 3 miles and meandered through the town of Clinton. It is hard to believe that I only have 1 day left. I had been looking forward to doing this for so long and it is almost over. I am really enjoying the time spent with Fletcher and Seth. They make a great team!
