Day Fifteen: "Good Rice" (16 January) 90 mi


Left Opelousas with Lois before 8, with frost on the grass. Got a glimpse of Downtown Opelousas, and still my opinion remains unchanged that it is a hapless hellhole. Continued on the sorry road that is US 190, dodging potholes and getting passed by log trucks. I'm amazed I didn't get a flat on that road. We got to the rice paddy fields near the halfway point, then stopped in Oberlin for lunch at a diner (too greasy, I felt really bad after). 90 miles, my second longest ride ever when we arrived to DeRidder at 4. 

Meal of the day: Fried catfish strips with fries, hushpuppies and cole slaw.
