West Texas – Long and flat…so far

20120926-190936.jpgNot really fair to start with a large photo of myself, but I’ve little to say, so I’ll let the photo say the first thousand words. I’d label the photo 80 Mile Siesta, which wasn’t really a nap just a few minutes off my saddle and off my feet. There wasn’t any place to sit except on the roadside edge while we ate the last of our two part lunch. We’d spent almost the entire day on I-10 and this frontage road was a welcome respite.

The only interesting event(s) of the day were repairing Ivan’s two flats. We actually “booted” his tire because of numerous cases of sidewall damage. All in all, it was a 5,900 calorie – 90 mile day. We’re currently in Van Horn, Texas about to head south toward Del Rio, Texas which will be over hundred mile day.
