We started. About 1/4 mile in another participant took a spill. Hurt ankle; possible concussion. Stay safe and Sharing the Road!

Every time my wife and I have a trip to Louisiana we take our bikes. Not only are the LA State Parks awesome, there are some very bicycle friendly communities throughout the State. We are blown away when we visited Abita Springs for the first time – there were cyclists everywhere and both cars and bicycles were being safe and responsible.

This is a great resource if you are interested in Bicycle Maps for Louisiana: http://wwwprd.doa.louisiana.gov/LaServices/PublicPages/ServiceDetail.cfm?service_id=2229

We will be riding from New Orleans to Pensacola on April 5th.
Check our “Sharing the Road” webpage for updates and photos about the 263 mile bicycle ride.

One of the benefits of traveling is being able to sample pieces are local culture and cuisine. This year’s WPTA Conference and Trade Show took me to Casper, WY, and while it is a very short trip for me I have been able to squeeze in a couple local hangouts. I decided on Poor Boys Steakhouse for dinner and the Wonder Bar for a local brew.

Poor Boys Steakhouse is definitely unique. It was a lot of food. A relish boat, salad, bread, steak, and loaded baked potato. It was an extremely satisfying meal after a long day of travel and a trade show.

After the meal, I was craving a local brew. Wonder Bar did the trick. It was a nice atmosphere with very friendly folks. I settled on an Red Ale and it was a nice end to the evening. The saying on their shirt was, “It’s more fun to eat at a bar than drink at a restaurant.” Sadly they would not sell me one.

I wish I had the time to squeeze in a run downtown, but it wasn’t in the stars this trip.
