Day 45 Dauphin Island to Pensacola

So far on the gulf I have not seen extensive damage from Katrina or oil spillage from Deep Water. Maybe it is more apparent in other areas. It is just beautiful here. I pounded 62 miles today into a headwind. I finally wore out my rear tire after 2600 miles, and replaced it at a bike shop on the route. My legs are utterly exhausted and I am taking a day off to rest in Pensacola. It will be nice to be off the bike for a day and let my backside and legs rejuvenate. More tomorrow.
