Today we left from Bay St Louis after staying in the comfort of St. Rose’s center. We had our final ride out along the boardwalk along the Gulf of Mexico for about 10 miles.
We had spent the night at the Lagoon Baptist Church in Gulf Shores, AL, and they graciously invited us to attend their Sunday-morning worship service at 11 AM, which we did. The service featured several very nice contemporary music sing-alongs, and a sermon that was met with great enthusiasm from the congregation.
An easy, breezy ride into the land of Jimmy Buffett

Today’s ride is 42.6 miles, going from Dauphin Island, Alabama to Pascagoula, Mississippi, with an elevation gain of 400’. Due to the flatness of the ride, even with the wind, we were all done by noon.
A short while ago, during a trip-ending group discussion about impressions of the trip, the topic of what was next for everyone came up. Initially, it centered on getting back to our REAL life or what Bike Adventure trip each of us was doing.
It always amazes me that whether it’s a summer-long cross-country or just week-long ride on the Natchez Trace, the idea is it’s X number of miles to the end and it seems like it’s forever away.
This morning, Pastor/rider Adam gave the morning devotion. He challenged us in regards to our relationship with Jesus. Do you know Him? Do your attitudes, words, and actions reflect the right one?
