Taking a few days off due to weather. I don't mind riding in 40 degree weather and I don't mind riding into a wind, and I don't mind riding in a little rain, but, when they are all going on at the same time all day long, it just is not as much fun, so I am taking a few days off. One thing is for sure, Texas really needs the rain. I should still finish around the end of the month. I think most of my climbing is over. The last 3 maps don't even have elevation profiles on them and I should be staying pretty close to the coast. After just under 1500 miles the last couple of hundred into the wind, my legs were pretty dead and a few days off will be good for me. We will be crossing into Louisiana in a couple of days and it will be good to get into a new state. Texas really is a big state and a long way across.
I thought I would post some roadside flowers for all of you who are still covered in snow back home. Have a great day.
