Some unforgettable characters travel the blue highways of Pike County by unconventional means.
Just how many, no ones knows. Most people don't even see them because they are caught up in the rat-race on the busy byways. Maybe we don't see the sojourners, but they see us and, perhaps, as our very best. On Saturday, while most local folks busy winding down from the week's work and gearing up for a busy weekend, a group of 24 cyclists from about that many states were pedaling their way along the backroads of Pike County and basking in the beauty of Alabama. We haven't gotten to Georgia yet, but I'll bet their roads don't compare to Alabama's.
