Day 32: Vicksburg-Pelahatchie 72 mi.

Today was to be a pretty good ride. It starts off chilly leaving in short sleeves and bare legs but with the bright sun and peddling I was soon warmed up. After 5 miles of rush hour urban traffic we were directed onto a quiet 2 lane rural road that was the frontage road for I-20. The traffic there was very light and we did pass some nice rural estates despite the roar of nearby I-20 traffic. That all ended at mi 37 when we were directed onto Rt.80 that was a 5 lane suburban/urban sprawl of malls, shops and fast food that continued for 15 miles but was not too bad. I reached our church home by 1:30 and was first in for an outdoor Wheel's shower. This is a small town. Dinner will be provided by our own kitchen staff with deserts provided by women of the church. Only 9 more days of biking.
