Day 77, August 15: Reform to Livingston. Distance 67 miles. Overcast and temp 70s-80s.

We left Reform about 6:30 AM on SR 17 riding about 10 miles to Aliceville where we have breakfast downtown at a local gathering place off the main road named Pearson's Dinner. It is always nice to find a "Mom and Pop" place to eat as the people there are more interested in talking than rushing to get somewhere. In Aliceville we return to the Adventure Cycling Underground Railroad Bicycle Route where we passed through Cochran, Warsaw and Gainesville. We had a rough road on route 85 for 10-15 miles and found an unexpected location to get a cold drink in Warsaw at a bait shop. In Gainesville we turned off the Adventure Cycling route and took CR 39 to US 11 as a more direct route into Livingston. Livingston, AL is the home of the University of West Alabama with a population of 3,297. After checking into our motel we had lunch at a recommended bakery and it was great.. It was a pleasant ride for our first full day in Alabama.

Late Addition: Judy rejoined us today for a few days riding. Judy, we are so glad to see you again! Unfortunately she will be returning to Washington DC on Monday. :(
