#266: Abita and Covington
Andrea and I got up early and made the drive down to Covington this morning with the purpose to make the 2pm tour at the Abita Beer brewery in nearby Abita Springs, Louisiana. After eating lunch, we arrived at the visitor center / tap room. About 1 minute after we got there, they opened up the bar to allow all the visitors to sample the complete range of their brewery. We each tried quite a few partial cups….
Driving around, I spotted this scene… I am pretty sure this is same place I blogged 2 years ago….
Tomorrow is of course the Tour de Louisiane. This has become one of my favorite races on the calender. I decided to race this instead of traveling back to Chattanooga for the state criterium weekend. The format is a bit different than last year with the RR first, followed by different courses for the TT and the criterium on Sunday. Unlike last year’s rain drenched RR, it promises to just hot and muggy.
