My legs are sore.  (You big baby) Another beautiful day to ride.  Partly sunny with a sea breeze.  On to the “infamous” Dauphin Island.  Fortunately there was only a light breeze when I rode over the causeway to the island.  There is a good shoulder on the causeway but it is high and only has small walls on the sides, well below the seat of my uni.  It gave me the hebe gebes.
I made it over the causeway and rode up to the ferry line just as it started loading. Â My support crew arrived just behind me and we proceeded onto the ferry to cross the Mobile Bay.
We camped on Dauphin Island the night before I arrived by unicycle. Â I spent the night there once before, but that’s another story. Â We Stopped at the Pelican Pub to prove a guy can have just one beer there. Â My crew convinced me to have another, but we managed to escape after just two. Â That wasn’t the case the last time I visited the establishment.
After crossing the bay I rode another 20 miles to Gulf Shores Al. Â I could see my crew was drooling over the beach so to avoid a mutiny I declared we would take a break tomorrow and give the crew some R&R. Â Really it was the rider who needed the R&R, but don’t tell the crew. Â Can you blame us.

Looks great, it’s your Ride you get to say how it goes!
Great pics! Just keep on keepin’ on. Will soon be over. Aunt Judy
Dave, I’m really glad you made it back to Pelican Pub. When I read your account of the ride I was afraid you jumped on the ferry without seeing the site of Dennis’s demise. Was that same barmaid there? I’m glad you and your crew made it out of there unscathed.
There was a different bar maid, but ironically she saw me with my shirt off.
I work at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, and a friend and I, and apparently a number of our coworkers passed you on Thursday… we cheered out the window and took your picture… hope you don’t mind! Great job, keep it up!
I appreciate all the cheering and support I can get. Thanks.
oh good heavens! hebe gebes are no relation to leishmaniacs are they? that is one crazy bridge.
I hope they aren’t related, because I think I got the hebe gebes from looking at that causeway!
