Dawn at Mexican Hill Ranch, Richards, TX
Doris and Ernie are hosting us on their ranch just off the Southern Tier route of Adventure Cycling. This is a rest day for us after yesterday's long ride and in preparation for our final three weeks.
A fierce wind and rain storm passed over us during the night. A cold wind has continued to gust during the day. We are all grateful that we are not riding on it today.
More rider comments: Jim, is my 'roommate' since he and I both have CPAP devices and our tents are set up side by side to share a power supply. We refer to this arrangement as VIP housing. Jim is from Iowa City, an obvious Hawkeye fan and is retired from insurance. He is a remarkably strong rider even though he had hip replacement surgery ten years ago. He usually rides with Doug and Sue , a couple from Ashland, OR. Both are now retired. Sue sold her dental practice and Doug was a school administrator. The three are very congenial and ride at an easy pace.
