Day Thirty-Eight
Yesterday's feel-good came right back as soon as I opened my eyes this morning. Sure, I was a bit tired and sore from riding 85 miles, but a couple of stretches and I felt good to go.
Day Thirty-Seven
Monday’s ride was tough on several levels, but I woke if fresh and ready to ride this morning.
Day Thirty-Six
Today I covered about 78 miles, from Eunice to Port Allen, Louisiana. I rose not quite as early as hoped and I was still feeling yesterday's 104 miles
Day Thirty-Four
Today began much earlier than desired. As I mentioned, I was in a cheap, down-and-outer motel on the eastern outskirts of Liberty, Texas
Day Thirty-Three
Today was a big day. I covered only 58.29 miles, but I'm out of Houston, past the rain (at least for the foreseeable weather forecast) and I think the flooding issues from the recent deluge are behind me.
Day Thirty-Two
Today I'm in greater Houston. The plan was to ride just a few miles from Gerry's place last night to rent a car and drive to Space Center Houston for one of my few touristy days of the trip.
Day Thirty-One
May Day! I started riding on April Fools Day so I'm into my second month. It's been a good day.
Day Thirty Evening
Today I made it to Brenham, Texas, about 64 miles down range from Bastrop, before nearly expiring and calling it a day.
Day Twenty-Five
I wasn't planning or expecting a monster day, but it became one on its own.
Day Twenty-Four
I have made my camp for the night at the Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park in Fredericksburg, Texas.
Day Nineteen
I woke before dawn and started packing at the tent area behind the Marathon Motel in Marathon, Texas. And there was another tent
Day Eighteen
An amazing day. Just under 59 miles, from Marfa to Marathon, TX, mostly downhill, mostly with a tailwind, but HOT.
Day Sixteen
I woke up at 3 am, thinking about West Texas. Distances are great, options few, I have little backup and scant information. A discomforting number of people, upon hearing where I am going, said "I'll pray for you".
