Day 11 Pre-Ride

Re-routed next 3 days knocking back mileage to 63.32, 67.51 & 46.43 respectively. From Kusciusko, MS we will head over to Starkville, MS (home of MS State University) and stay at Holiday Inn Express. From Starkville, MS we will ride to Fayette, AL and stay at the Columbus Street Inn. When we leave Fayette, AL we will pedal over to Jasper, AL and camp at Sleepy Holler Campground (no kidding... Sleepy Holler). I'm hoping the mileage will be somewhat more managable. It is tough to find campgrounds at perfect 62.5-mile intervals. Additionally, we have not had much luck with the Fire Station approach to finding a place to stay; problem being that not every town has an operating VFD that we can contact. We'll see how it works out. I do know that I do not have the funds to be spending $60 a night on hotel fees. Guess we'll take it by the day. HOOAH!

Also, I am re-routing all the daily routes with "Map My Ride" for my Garmin Cycling Computer. You can check out the daily routes here: http://www.mapmyride.com/user/747125080415947344/txpeddler

Enjoy the Ride!
