LAST NIGHT IN TEXAS!





Cleveland-Silsbee, TX 4/9 65 miles

Another top ten biking day except for the first few miles with no shoulder and speeding logging trucks. A big Georgia Pacific lumber mill on the route - after we passed that , better shoulders and fewer trucks. We all anxiously await tomorrow- our exit from Texas after almost 3 weeks! Dinner sign says it all! New wildflower spotting - spider lily and Texas Thistle- bigger and better than any regular nonTexas thistle. My trusty steed went through 2 back tires while in Texas -preventative- two big slits in each tire- had not gone through to tube yet(thank you thank you) and a pair of back brakes- pads had worn smooth. And I thought I was feathering down all of those hills- I must have been white knuckling.
