St Francisville to Hammond

94 miles, flat, 85 degrees low humidity
  Today's ride was as flat as you can get and the scenery was rather beautiful with lush everything. Wildflowers were in full display and we were rolling along quite well until the 42 mile mark where a bridge that had gone out was being repaired and unless you can leap large spans with bicycle in hand, we had a major detour to deal with. After a one hour delay, Linda and Carol came up with a plan that the youngest person in our group, 29 had to explain to 16 type A personalities but she did a stellar job and off we went and added 7 miles to our journey. So instead of another 80 something mile day, we had another 90 something mile day. Really helps to have the physical resources to pull this off. If you are on the rivet as they say, this tour may not be you best choice as detours happen.
  I rode the entire ride with a member of our group that I had not ridden with before and we shared a splendid day.
  I should back up a day as yesterday we had a day off and four of us were put in the St Francisville Inn which was in town while the rest of the group were out of town by three miles. In addition to the convenience, they had an extensive wine collection and my roommate and I are quite into wine. We started a tab and drank some fine wines and basically got happy for two days.
  Pretty much not drinking on this tour as I am concerned about getting through the day and not dehydrating. This was a welcomed change with excellent wines that were well cared for. The Inn also allowed us to use their kitchen for making dinner so I made pizzas for the four of us staying there and drank more wine.
