69 Miles to Navasota, TX .......

Today was another windy ride, with gusts up to 30 mph. At least it wasn't a head wind, but a cross wind that would take you by surprise. We were on a busy road when we started out, with a lot of truck traffic and no shoulder. Later in the day, we rode on some quiet country roads that were quite pleasant. The wild flowers are so beautiful now -- fields of blue, yellow, pink and white. The sky was blue and the temperature got up to about 70 degrees. Everything was working for us but the wind.

Tomorrow is a rest day and there isn't much going on in this town, population just over 7,000. 

I'm going to share a poem with you that was written by Sheila, a woman on the trip from Scotland. I'll post the pic I took of her even though I already have. She is the shorter of the two women.

May the road rise up to greet us

And the wind be always at our backs.

May the traffic lights be green, not red

And the SAG drivers cheerful and keep us fed.

May the trucks be tiny and keep away

And the dogs be friendly come what may.

May there be no punctures - or flats to you

As many of us know not what to do.

May the miles roll by without a hitch

And no one end up in a ditch.

May we have fun and joy and laughter

And get to Florida happy ever after.

Sheila
