to Del Rio TX 19 Mar
Windy at times last night, but warm. We have had a couple of warmer nights where a light sleeping bag was ok. Last evening, we discussed today's ride and it looked like it could be tough with 75 miles and a big head wind. The reality was much more to my liking. The first 10 miles or so was slightly downhill with a big tailwind. Then we turned into a nice little road with little traffic but rough surface. The wind was not a huge factor as it was not as strong and only a partial head wind.
We got to Bracketville by 11 instead of after 12 as I feared. The next bit was more into the wind and on US HWy 90. Again we were able to go faster than I feared and got to Del Rio by 3. John wanted something cold and settled for a shamrock shake. Then we hit a couple of bike shops, one of which was closed and the other didn't have what I was after. It was a fairly hard ride, especially after the Texas Hill Country, but didn't leave us trashed.
We are at a Motel 6 tonight, sleeping indoors. Tomorrow is at a state park, do not be surprised if there is not an update.
Today's ride: 76 miles (122 km)
Total: 1,769 miles (2,847 km)
