Trans Am Trail 2003

To all,

I apologise for this, but in my defence would just say that I write about things that are happening to me at the time. At that time my head was full of bike bits and pieces! I wished that the riding was more straight forward and that I could just enjoy the trail a bit more!!

The flight from the UK was great, lots of leg room and good food! We arrived in New Orleans Hotel at around 7pm US time ( which is six hours ahead) and went out for food and beers. I left the bars at around 12 midnight and slept until 4am when Stef and Jon arrived back!

The temperature outside is currently levelling out at a pleasant 50 degrees
or 'bloody hot'. I'd tell you what it is in old money but the thermometer
doesnt go that high!! (about 130 degrees!).\

I will continue the story as before when I get the chance but the main news
yesterday was that I came off the bike, I had to ditch it quickly before I
rode into a barbed wire fence! I was too busy looking at the roll chart
trying to figure out the navigation marks when I rounded a corner and......
