60 Miles to Marathon, TX .......

We left the Lodge in Fort Davis just after 8:30 am and arrived in Marathon in time for lunch. I think everyone was able to complete the ride and I almost felt as if I was cheating -- we had a tailwind the whole time. Yay. I took a picture of the one cloud in the sky today, a pic of Rona with Liz, a woman from Ohio, my GPS at the end of the ride (aver. speed 18.5, max. speed 36 mph), and some pics of my room tonight. My roommate and I are actually 2 blocks from the main hotel (Gage Hotel) in a house. I took lots of pics of it which I will post. Unfortunately, we have no internet, so I'm sitting now in the lobby of the hotel writing this.

The road surfaces in Texas are a chip-seal and quite rough to ride on, especially in the bike lane. My hands go numb from the vibration and when traffic allows, I find myself out in the travel lane.
