Bike, Build, Blog. Zen and the Art of Dropping Everything to Make a Difference. Tuesday, July 15, 2014. Day 42 - Dalhart, TX. Back to the ride! After our lovely day off, we are now headed to Dalhart, TX. The ride was 80 miles, but we had an awesome tailwind for much of that, so the day passed by fairly smoothly. There were some hills in the morning, but by afternoon it was all fairly flat. I've been told that west Texas is flat and now I get to see it for myself! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Theme...

Bike, Build, Blog. Zen and the Art of Dropping Everything to Make a Difference. Thursday, July 10, 2014. Day 40 - Amarillo, TX. Well, we did not get to Amarillo by morning. today's 107 mile ride was super long and was not helped by the rainstorm in the middle (during which most of us were "bonking", or having a physical and mental breakdown during the ride). I can't wait for our rest day in Amarillo tomorrow! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Bike and Build Group Blog. View my complete profile.

Bike, Build, Blog. Zen and the Art of Dropping Everything to Make a Difference. Thursday, July 10, 2014. Day 41 - Day off in Amarillo, TX. So much to see and so much to do on our day off! I forgot the joy of being out in the woods with good friends. :). Later on, after our return from the canyon, our group went out for Mexican food followed by a trip to Cadillac Ranch! After a good discussion about their cross country trip as well as ours, we got some awesome Chaco bracelets to keep. Road To The Trip.

Bike, Build, Blog. Zen and the Art of Dropping Everything to Make a Difference. Wednesday, May 28, 2014. Day 12 - De Funiak Springs. That awesome host that I mentioned that served us dinner on Memorial Day? Oh yeah, they took out one step farther by making our first hot breakfast of French toast and sausage. To a rider that has been having cold breakfasts so far, that is quite awesome! Day 11 - Panama City. I think all of us have heard about Panama City and have a certain preconceived notion of the crazy...

Bike, Build, Blog. Zen and the Art of Dropping Everything to Make a Difference. Wednesday, July 16, 2014. Day 44 - Mosquero, NM. Our ride today took us into our smallest town yet! A town of just 100 people proved to be very difficult to get to but also very interesting once there. We had an awesome ride in on some of the emptiest roads we've seen so far, feeling great with our tailwind in and stopping to climb a random windmill! Build Rank and Flip Amazon Review Sites.

My apologies to everyone that I let this drop to the wayside and never finished my stories from the road! So from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support and for your patience!
