Day 24 [Alpine, TX]

I suppose you have your trial by fire days, the rides that make you wonder why the hell you are doing this to yourself, but then you have days like this in which you revisit all the reasons that you are biking across the country.  A short ride today, essentially a "rest day" at 27 miles, but man was it awesome.  Gentle ups and downs through a Texas valley with a beautiful blue sky.  At only two hours of riding time I am left with plenty of time to explore this little college town - and that's just what I'm off to do.  Short post today, I need to relax for a bit.  Happy Friday, everyone!

  2. Ride em Cowboy. Hope you are wearing a ten gallon hat. Sul Ross is the birthplace of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association.

    You may meet a good portion of the 2000 Sul Ross student body at a bar or a rodeo.

    Have a great time touring the campus.
