Cycling this past week has been difficult, especially today's ride from Sanderson to Comstock. We traveled 80 miles with headwinds of 20-25 mph, and gusts of 35 mph. I started riding at 8:00am and finished at 5:30pm. Added to the headwind, was hilly terrain and the infamous Texas "chip and seal" road surface.
Tomorrow, we have another 80 mile day, but the wind is forecasted to abate to 10-15 mph. Also, our route turns from southeast to east after the first 35 miles. We will pass through Del Rio, the first city of any size since El Paso. We're planning stops at Rudy's BBQ and Walmart to replenish personal items.
Good job hanging in there Bob. Looks like tomorrow will be better ride. Enjoy the BBQ!
