Mak- what a beautiful story, thanks for sharing!
Alpine- For a minute I was scratching my head thinking, I was good at geography and I don't get how this is possible. Zurich to Moscow hehe.
We did 43.5 miles on a new route. Mostly roads we have been on before but there were two new ones. The first 28 miles was pretty hard. A lot of rolling hills and chip seal pavement- ick! The back 15 was fast, fast, fast! I was even unwittingly sucked into drafting off an SUV. They passed me as a follwing car for a John Deere Tractor. No biggie, they were going a little faster than my pace but then we hit a hill. Apparently a John Deere cannot accelerate on a hill like my Cannondale. I got a free ride up the hill but it was not wanted.
The humidity and heat really got bad the last few miles, summer is trying to remind us we are in Texas.
