HELLO!

Welcome back. Seven years after my first ride across the United States, I am doing it again.

This blog will document my trek.

Day 21 - Marfa to Marathon (57.4 miles)

Pretty riding day, scenery changed to grassland with closer mountains and winding roads. While “only 55 miles”, a good headwind for 20 miles challenged us. Getting good pace line practice. Nice snack in Alpine and lunch in Marathon. Tomorrow is a non riding day, and we’re driving to Big Bend National Park. I am looking forward to that!

Sunrise this morning, I thought the airstream camper and wind vane represent Texas.

Welcome to Marathon

Never get tired of wind vane pictures…
