Hopefully our very last day in the desert in Texas. 110 miles with the same high winds as yesterday from Sanderson to Del Rio Texas. We did cross a river that had water in it, the Pecos River. Amazing!
Lunch was in the middle of nowhere, which the café memorialized in the T-shirt below.
There are at least two other groups cycling the same route as we are, on pretty much the same days. Below is Bubbas Pampered Pedalers, a "Coast 2 Coast" company hosting a group of 40 riders with five support vehicles and Bubba himself talking with our guide Carol. They do a lot of camping along the route, so "it's all good" didn't ring quite true with me.
The wind was truly punishing today as evidenced in the two pictures below. A quick nap before a bunch of us helped get our bikes up on top of the van and we drove to our, again, not so charming motel.
A little after sunset the handful of riders who completed the entire route arrived at the hotel, having been on the road for 12 hours. They are an awesome group.
You continue to amaze! Keep it up!
