Friday Morning sun on the mountains look hoping to be a better day - dropping one of blood pressure meds, the water pill, will probable help my energy
Here is the other thing that will help my day, I am treating the chip seal shoulder like gravel and riding on the outside tire lane
The traffic into Marfa all but disappeared. Able to stay in the fast lane almost all the way.
and this is what is really helping my today one heck of a tail wind. I have to set the brake when I stop when going up hill or the wind blows the trike away. YA YO
I tie my coat on to make a sale and away I go.
The Marfa Lights viewing area 5 miles outside of Marfa, I stopped at the first place and got a hair cut - 30bucks ouch. picked up some water at the store and rode the wind outa there.
The other item I found at the little grocery store in Marfa was EmergenC Vitamins, that is a powder and I add to the water bottle. I am rolling now.
Meet Ann and David Winkler-Morey there story is on Pedalstory you can Google them. started last June and have done over 7000miles so far.
These two folks were heading into the wind, what a tough slog. Nice of them to stop and trade cards. Good Luck David and Ann.
Rolled into Alpine just in time for the 5pm service at Our Lady of Peace Catholic church. Father Mike set up with a camping spot on the grass between the school and church
Sometimes I am really surprised how this works. There are no coincidences. There really is the God of all things keeping it all in order. All I have to do is cooperate a little. Notice how they are flying two of flags I am.
From a 20 mile day and all in to a 45 mile day and feeling great, what a little help from God can do.
So now I am feeling even better than before, and ready to keep on trucking after a good nights sleep here in the church yard. Thanks to the parishioners who spoke with me and took pictures after the service.
