I did this ride two weeks ago with some friends. Traffic control on this ride was awesome: police at every intersection stopping traffic with police escorts between intersections! Unlike other organized rides that I have done in Louisiana, this one had each of the five rest stops at a location with permanent bathroom facilities,instead of port-o-lets. This is especially nice when you consider that you are on your bike for 46 miles!
Aside from the great rest stops, the scenery was awesome! The ride started and ended at Bayou Segnette State Park; wound through Jean Lafite National Park; crossed the Intercoastal Canal (IC) via swamp tour boat (see photo) - passing a Houma Native American burial ground that is now a cemetery featured in several movies; return crossing of the IC via the bridge; and ended the ride in time to make it to the Saints vs. Panthers game to watch them go 8-0-0, averaging 17.2 mph for the ride!
The post ride meal was the best post ride meal I have had at an organized ride in Louisiana with crawfish pasta and jambalaya from Mr. Mudbugs! It was delicious!!!
