Today was a long day in the saddle,being a 90 mile ride,and many people did not attempt it. I pooped out at 70 miles and Gail did 94 miles. Gail lost her map on a downhill and went back to retrieve it and our group couldn't stop,so we lost Gail for awhile. When we got to a turn,I called Gail to tell her the turn in case she couldn't find her map. We continue on to the first Sag stop at 20 miles and Gail caught up,but not until she had missed the turn and went up some gruesome hill and corrected herself,hence the bonus miles. We continued on and we had some heavily traveled roads and we have no shoulder,and we had one guy in a truck lay on his horn and then pulled over and yell at 2 of our riders. He pulled away before we could talked to him,of course this is a gun state. Lunch was at a Sonic and we had never tried to order without being in a car,so we walked up to the little box and placed an order. Very fast and very good burgers and Hot dogs. Yesterday we had our first Dairy Queen and in Texas they call it DQ.
Dinner tonight was salad,brown rice,fish stew,and 2 desserts. Carrot cake and chocolate cake.
We didn't take any pictures today as it was trying to survive,but we did see long horn cattle again.
Well it is off to bed and tomorrow we have a 41 mile,but we still have hills. We are still Texas hill country. We love the pictures from the bike club and we miss you all very much.
We so miss you two! We are, however, very proud of what you are doing and that we can count you as ours!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEven if there are hills, tomorrow sounds like it could be makable and we are certainly with you all the way!
