After another night of aspiriinand ice yesterday afternoon, my achilles still holdig. It happens to be teh first thought of the day.
Essence for today is WEATHER. Extreme, helpful, hurtful, powerful amazing.
We awoke and after determining the leg was good to go, we started our routine. I started noticing the remnanats of last night storms and we had really great cloud cover until almost 10:00 a.m. 4 hours of cooler temps got us down the road a long ways.
We had a waterstop in this little town where they have a bull "Testica" festival every year. Pretty crazy so we had to get a picture of that.
After that we just motored on.
In the afternoon it got really hot. More animals, more heat, but were weren't interested it was only a 900 miles day but after having done 350 miles in 4 days I was ready to be in and done for a rest. The water in Harlowown had high mineral content and was just gross. So we were just getting it done.
WE got in and ha d picnic for dinner and they ended that short as we watched and felt the storm come in that we had been watching build all afternoon. It rained buckets and buckets and just stormed. And finally cooled off the dorms.
Here are a few pics and then I am signig off to get dinner and have a bit of a rest.
Remember to comment. I love the comments.

Good to hear your tendon is doing well. I wish I was there to ride with all of you. Now you can think of yourself on the tour. I am leaving it on this blog as it is Sunday. Be safe! Prayin for you..... It sounds like you have a great group to ride with as you cross the U.S. Riding in 105 is hard work. Thanks for all your blogging.
Hey Buddy!!
Wow, I had to catch up on all your blogging!! You are so cute.... I didn't realize how much you like to talk :) I could never type all the stuff that you are typing! It's great! Sounds like you are having a blast and developing some life long friendships!! One thing I'm surprised about though....... all the really good food you are getting to chow down on! I guess I figured that when you are working out as much as you are that the junk food would just kill ya! I could definatley dig this ride, if I got to eat all the good stuff :)
Thanks for all the good writing and can't wait for the next few days of your ride!
Blessings!
