Brrrrrr

Are you paying attention? We aren't ever real sure who is reading our
blog on a daily basis but if you looked where we were last night and
where we are tonight, you may have noticed that we didn't make it very
far. Would love to say that we met some amazing people or found
something so amazing that we just couldn't pass it up... Yeah that is
not what happened. It is just plain COLD! When we set out this morning
it was 25 and raining and as we rode to alpine, it didn't get any
better. The worst half mile of the whole trip was from the bike shop
in alpine to the mcdonalds. We thought we would just warm up with some
coffee after chatting with the guys at the shop and the short ride was
freezing. In mcdonalds more than one person told us we shouldn't ride
anymore today and checking the weather and seeing a winter weather
warning calling for ice sealed the deal. Didn't hurt that a cheap
motel next store had a price we couldn't pass up. The weather remains
crappy for the next couple days but let's hope not like today. Night
from alpine, tx.

  1. Yeah, there are people out here reading your news. Hope the weather clears soon and you can be on your way. Are you planning to do any sightseeing along the way or just biking past/through?
