From Fort Hancock to Van Horn, Texas, this was a day of riding to get from point A to point B. Most of the ride was either on or alongside interstate 10. Feel sorry for us because the headwinds were 38 miles an hour gusting 47. I rode as part of a seven woman paceline (One behind the other, we continuously trade off who is leading). Unfortunately, our pace was only 7 to 8 miles an hour. The only nice thing we saw was this momma/baby horse couple.
I did learn about "Mexican Coke", that is Coca-Cola which is made with cane sugar as opposed to high fructose corn syrup for Coke bottled in the US. It tasted like the Coke I remember as a kid!
Thunderstorms tonight, timed perfectly just as the last rider came into the hotel. Should be sunny tomorrow with wind at our backs!
