The first 30 miles, as we headed East, went by quickly. I moved through the first SAG quickly but long enough to have my picture taken with Carol. Carol is a member of our support team. She is the kindest, most upbeat and supportive person I have met. She keeps us nourished, making gourmet snacks out of leftovers. Carol is leaving us here in Abilene. I will miss her.
Out of the SAG we're turned North. The wind came back and the clouds thickened.
I love watching the cows run to the fence and line up as we pass. It seems they're there to cheer us on!
I made it to the hotel (actually the Dairy Queen which sat 50 yds from the hotel) before the rain arrived. I enjoyed a shake and a nap before heading to IKE'S for dinner. Joann enjoyed a beer as she started to carb load for Wednesday's 105 mile ride
We enjoy having a day off tomorrow in IKE'S hometown
I'm looking forward to breakfast. We're going to The Hitching Post a spot known for their famous cinnamon rolls. I'll report on how they compare with my favorite Liz Sue cinnamon rolls.
Best,
Michael
Have a good rest. Spoke to Michelle for a medical update. Stories of the days in Calif and Arizona are fascinating. it is ok to have a beer with Joanne. Paul Newman kept his youthful figure by just drinking beer and exercising.
