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 23 - Marathon to Sanderson (54.6 miles)

After yesterday’s high winds, the resulting front has changed the weather. Gloves, hats, tights, and a heavier jacket were needed for the low 40’s in the morning with overcast skies. By the time we reached Sanderson, blue skies and comfortable temperatures were prevalent. Pretty scenery today, some headwinds, and downhills into Sanderson. Fun riding day. Sleeping in the gym at Sanderson HS.

Protesting the possible border wall in Big Bend area.

Only in Texas, raffle a gun to send a Sanderson HS Junior to Boys State. (Note: I went to Boys State in 1975)
