Ahh, the joys of western Texas—grassy, shrubby, rocky, dusty. This was my least favorite ride to date—22 miles on chip seal country roads, followed by 42 miles on the chip seal frontage road paralleling I-10 and 12 miles on I-10 itself. The highlight of the day was that a strong tailwind carried us along at a decent clip. We ran into a cycling couple from Portland, Oregon who are sharing SAG responsibilities, each riding for about 50 miles per day, and camping in their Mercedes van at night. I rode for a short time with the woman before our routes parted.
I did manage to find one photo op in Esperanza.
