07.07.07 Carthage, TX
What a welcome we received from Texas today. More like a kick in the butt. Eighty miles of almost 100 degrees, terrible roads and never ending hills. It was one of the most physically challenging days so far. On the bright side, the scenery was gorgeous, the weather really was nice especially after days of rain, and crossing a state line is always exciting. And we’re staying in Paradise, aka the home of a Bike & Build alum’s parents. Air conditioning, limitless food, real towels, a mom and dad, big screen tvs, BEER…all we could ever ask for. Texas is definitely very Texas…fitting the stereotype as much as possible so far. Small town USA where everyone drives a pick up, wears cowboy boots, and has never before seen a biker. It’s going to be a long and interesting 10 days. Off to mess with Texas (and eat beef brisket until I can’t breathe…)
