San Angelo TX 16 April 2014
Very sad to see Kate go from Austin, but now back on the (new, Brooks, stony hard with 500 miles break-in distance) saddle and 150 miles run in 2 days - a perfect day yesterday, but wind back up today. Country has shifted from gentle hills and ranches, to intense agriculture (mostly cotton, some wheat) and I saw first nodding donkey this afternoon as I get towards oil country.
And....... passed through unremarkable town of Eden, not just the self-claimed centre of Texas but also my halfway point. Now 40miled astern so downhill from here!
Congratulations over halfway, well done. Hope the new saddle is breaking in ok, and you are racking up the miles. Weather should warm up soon. How is the camping going? Take care. Mark & Pip
ReplyDeleteHalf-way - how wonderful, and exciting! Many congratulations, and keep massaging that saddle. Have you had trouble finding veggie places to eat - or are you self-catering all the way? F x
ReplyDeleteWell done Roop! Only same again to go! Rod
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Rupert. Treat yourself to Hershey Kisses, possibly the worst chocolate. Did you go for the Brooks saddle with large copper rivets, makes all the difference.
ReplyDeleteHalf way is a great achievement, well done. M
