This month I completed the first route check, which covers the route from El Paso, TX to Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville, FL. It all seems to be quite doable though there will be some incredibly tough days. There is Farm to Market Road a couple of days out of El Paso that is going to be 41 miles of quite brutal roughness and a good distance of the road on the way to Austin is going to be hard work. After Austin it was much better with some beautiful scenary heading into Louisiana from Port Arthur, TX. Coastal flats through the marshes with stilted houses and similar again in after New Orleans most of the way to Biloxi, Mississippi. More of the same in Florida from Pensacola to Panama City. Days of skating along beaches, outstanding.
I totally fell in love with New Orleans on the trip. This city is just packed with amazing musicians. Doron and I stayed there for the middle weekend. I will be returning and not just on the skate.
Taken a lot of photos of the turns on the route but they are a bit too boring to publish. However, I have taken some choice pictures of the trip which I have published on Facebook
