Southern Transcon - Sweet Home Alabama

This was Day 1 for me and Day 23 for those who started in San Diego last month.  We left Livingston AL (15 miles from the MS state line), and rode 128 miles across part of AL to end the day in Greenville.  After about 10 miles of Monday morning traffic (not terrible, since Livingston is not a big place), we turned onto some lightly traveled roads.

Most of the day was spent on AL state routes 28 and 10.  The course featured a lot of rolling hills, although none were super steep.  We did have an unrelenting headwind of 11 mph out of the east.  There were many logging trucks that passed us early in the day, but all of the truck drivers were courteous, patient and safe.

Tomorrow will be an early start (depart at 7 am) to get to Eufaula AL (111 miles).  This "mini" tour is going well and my first time riding in AL.
