Southern Transcon - Alabama Day 2

More hills and headwinds were the order of the day, so we got a good workout riding from Greenville AL to Eufaula AL.  Total climbing was a little over 5000 feet and the distance covered was 111 miles.  Jack and I stuck together, and this made the day feel like an extension of the 2016 Northern Transcon.

I suffered a terrible cramp in my right thigh last night, but it subsided after about 10 seconds.  I tried to pay more attention to getting enough electrolytes today, so hopefully won't experience any more of those painful cramps.

Retta is continuing to work hard as part of the lunch crew.  She enjoys the companionship of Martha, another crew member, while driving the route.

Headwinds are supposed to continue for the remainder of the week, so we still have some tough days ahead.  The weather has been excellent otherwise.
