The hunt is ON.

Cold Morning!
La Grange was cool, but by 4am it got way too cold in Texas last night.
So I cacooned up in the sleeping bag and didn’t wake up until the last minute. I’m a bit behind the early birds!
Now I’m at a rest stop, I took the challenge route but took a wrong turn and ended up with the slackers. Probably for the better!
So now its time to catch up and cookem out there. I really wish I didn’t forget my headphones in Austin. I’d love to have them around my neck.
Biofreeze rules!

Why didn’t add the fact in that you froze your shorts?

100 Miles, 90 Against Wind
We’re in La Grange!
The ride ended up great, after lunch I tore it up on the third quarter, but really struggled the next 15 miles.
My bike says I averaged 15mph and it took 6.5 hours.
I didn’t mention this, but we faced 10-15 mph winds nearly the entire time. This was nothing new for me, but it really wore on us as the day went on.
I did a lot of riding with Eric G, and then Platt and Dylan. Good times, we did a lot of drafting off each other.
Time for a beer and the best night of sleep under a tent ever! I feel like jello.
See you in Austin!

Son, when I was your age I used to walk that far to school every day in the snow and all uphill pulling the dog sled.

Beagling in Bellville
Lunch time!
I’m ahead of most of my friends, so I’m waiting around to eat with them.
So far all is good, my main ride partner has been Kristen, James’ girlfriend.
Just before lunch we hit some hills, nothing tough, but I realized how much I like climbing. I was pasing everyone in high gear.
The beginning of the ride was a bit frustrating for the faster guys, which doesn’t include me really. It takes until the first breakpoint to separate the chumps from the champs and to scatter everyone. In the meantime, you got these cyclists who are completely passive aggressive and get mad at people who hang on the left, and rightly so sometimes. But shut up with the abide comments!
The GPS is tracking but I’m low on battery and when I lose intenet access in the middle of nowhere, things shut down.
Ok everyone is here, see ya!

Howdy from Houston
This is a test post from my phone. I have some bugs in my tracker program but I think I figured the quirks out.
Houston is a hellhole. I can see why this ride is FROM Houston and not TO it… Nobody would want to participate! The most epic part of the ride is leaving this dumpster of a town, and hopefully not returning for a year!
In all seriousness, we’re stocked and ready to go, and James’ bike is phenomenal! See ya early in the morning!
