Day 18 Sanderson to Del Rio, Tx

Hi yall, yup we're still here in Texas... We had a very hot day today. Our ride started out really nice. The scenery inproving as we got closer to water... The course had lots of rollers. Short climbs, but very steep at the top. I had a great day.Every ride just seems easier and easier. Because I can feel I am stronger everyday. Lola, was having saddle issues. And was very uncomfortable. Sooo, we rode a very respectable 60 miles . And may I add, we are getting faster and faster. When we got to Langtry. Home of Judge Roy Bean and his lady love Lillie Langtry...We had our picnic outside a little(and I mean little) general store... I went in looking for a cold drink, and the clerk says..Wherd yuh come from??Where's your car?? I said , I am on a bicycle!!! He says, in 115 degree heat?? Wow!! That's exactly how we felt..Wow!!! We knew it was really hot, although the headwind was cooling us off, we were not even wet with persperation..When we had stopped 10 miles back with Joe, Lola said her thermometer read 113 degrees. So, it was really that hot...

I really enjoyed the ride in the cool car...We went to the Pecos River and Rio Grande river crossing. Where The Rivers meet and the cliffs on the left are Mexico...that is really a beautiful sight.

We arrived in Del Rio and tomorrow we leave for Camp Wood...Still Smiling!!!

Thanks honey for your daily calls of encouragement. I can't wait to see you...
