April 1 Day 12 cycling Burnside to Baton Rouge, LA

Well I got back on the bike! 👏 (no joking!) As my friend, Steve Boyer suggested, my hip/thigh would probably feel better and heal faster cycling rather than walking. True that! Of course, every big bump I went over caused pain in my left wrist and rib, but hey, beautiful ride of 41.3 miles, 150’ elevation gain. The last third was on the Mississippi River Trail which is on top of the dike. Short day so we could see a little of the very busy river town of Baton Rouge, LA capital!
