1 week agoThis is my favorite journal entry excerpt of the entire trip thus far:
“ I have been looking forward to getting to Marfa ever since we left Austin 9 days ago. There have been a lot of hard rides and big headwinds. For a while I seriously thought about quitting. It was just too hard and not fun. However, now I think I will make it. I might still have to ride in the van for a day or part of one, but I don't want to quit. I am especially looking forward to my son, Ethan, meeting us in Lordsburg and riding with us for 4 days to Mesa, AZ, the last of our rest days. That stretch will have some of the hardest rides of the trip. Maybe he can pull me through :)”

Are you going to the observatory for a talk? A bicycle friend of mine, Bill Ramey, is on staff there. He rides a Tout Terrain with a Rohloff hub. That is a more typical set up now, but at the time, his bike was quite exotic and had many admirers.
Enjoy your day off!
