Roy Martin of Dallas lost his right foot in an industrial accident. Fort Worth’s Jennifer Teague Clark lost her left leg to a benign tumor. And Caitlin Conner of Chappell Hill lost her lower left leg, less than three years ago, in a …

Day 16: San Elizario to Van Horn: Birthday, first flat, I10 in the dark
Wednesday October 26, 2016, 107 miles (172 km) – Total so far: 1,069 miles (1,720 km)
Day started off well if a little later than anticipated. I woke up to a rooster crowing incessantly about 10 feet from the tent St about 5.30. Decided I was going to keep sleeping to spite it which I did on and off through till about 7.30 when it was light. Was pretty tired as I only got to sleep sometime after midnight.
On the road by 8.45 and headed through to Fort Hancock. I’d heard that this route was pretty bad for dog chases so I was a little apprehensive. The first set I had were a pair of Chihuahuas which came flying out of a gate going ballistic. They put on a poor chase though, small legs and terrible stamina, chase rating: 2/10, poor effort. The next one was almost my undoing. I was pedalling along and just waved to an oncoming cyclist when a small white happy dog materialised on my heel. Normally they start barking and give chase so you can prepare a little but this fluffy hell spawn got the drop on me. In my …
