We rode 74 miles today.  Winds were still strong in the morning but slowly died down after noon.

About 27 miles into the route, we took a long bridge across the Amistad reservoir, created by a dam on the Rio Grande River. Because the bridge was narrow (without shoulders for bicycles), we had a sag stop just before the bridge and Timberline staff then drove a vehicle behind each bunch of riders (each bunch taking up the entire east-bound lane), to protect them from fast-moving east-bound traffic.

Lunch was at Rudy's BBQ in Del Rio. A chain restaurant, but good food.
