Breakfast Texas style:
The route from Van Horn to Fort Davis started with 38 miles on Interstate 10 then more miles on Texas' famous chip seal roads. The shoulders on the highway are generous, so the trailer trucks zipping by at 80 mph are not too bothersome.
FYI the ratio of big trucks to cars is 3:2 at 8:30 in the morning.
Chip seal roads as near as I can tell are some kind of tar with rocks embedded. Sure increases rolling resistance.
(I could bitch about the headwind again too...)
We ended the day at the Indian Lodge in Davis state park. Comfy, clean, great food, beautiful setting. Nice view from my room, past the WomanTours van.
How much replacement parts does one carry while riding? How did you fix the bad valve?
