RIDE NOTES…
I am currently on map #46 out of 108. After a big breakfast at the only place for breakfast in Marathon I began a somewhat easy 56 mile ride to Sanderson, TX. I met up with 2 other riders this morning and rode with them some today. They were trying to teach me how to draft depending on the direction of the winds, trading off the lead, etc… I don’t think I caught on, oh well. I checked into the Oasis Motel and the other two riders wen to stay at the campground. We planned to meet back in a little while since we were told the “Dairy King” opened at 5PM. As it turned out they did not reopen at 5 and there was nowhere else to eat in town. Normally “Stripes”, the big chain gas station in town sold food, but we were told the cook did not come in to work today. So… no food. Although this is a great trip; west Texas is a bit too rural for me.

This saying looks like a t-shirt you would wear. You can still be put to work , clean my windshield , clean my shoes. Maybe not wipe off my makeup but wipe off my car wax!
