53 Miles, 720 feet climbed
Today’s winds were milder but still pushing us back, not forward. Steve from DC and I rode together and ended up getting to the hotel first.
Concerns about tomorrow’s 119 mile ride in the face of projected 20+ mph headwinds gave rise to an idea from George that the group ride another 20 miles beyond Sanderson today, shuttle the bikes back to Sanderson and then shuttle to start tomorrow’s ride where we ended today. This would help the EFI (Every F** Inch) crowd. Not being so inclined and having an afternoon State Bar meeting to attend, I opted out of the extended ride.
If you were to look at the Zoom recording of the Bar meeting, you’ll probably see me swatting at bees. I was sitting outside on one of the hotel’s picnic tables. The bees were obsessed by my Big Gulp soda. I’m not sure why as it was a diet drink.
