Day 22 – Charity Cycle USA Journey Blog
San Diego to New York unassisted cycle in aid of the British Heart Foundation – Sponsor Us Now – www.justgiving.com/sandiego-to-nyc-cycle
Well as planned, today has been nice and easy. Due to the the distances between towns, we could either have done 25 miles or best part of 100, so we opted to do just 25, taking today almost as a rest day.

We set off late, about 11am, as we knew it would take us 2 hours at the most. The first 2 miles or so involved cycling through some very shifty looking neighbourhoods, and it looked a bit like ‘dog territory’. We cycled very slowly as dogs seem to take a dislike to fast moving things, however it didn’t take long for one to briefly chase us. Fortunately it only seemed intent on protecting it’s owners property and lost interest after about 10-20 meters when it realised that in fact we weren’t there to rob the house. …

Blue Bike Perimeter Ride: February 26, to Langtry, TX: Road Angels

… I pulled up to a cafe in Comstock. It was kind of a sad little place, with a local woman finishing her meal and complaining constantly about everything imagineable. The two owners sat at another table, chain smoking. It was a little depressing, but I needed to eat. They had decent BBQ sandwiches.

Once I left the cafe, I knew I had to make a choice. It would be 30 miles to Langtry, the next town where I was supposed to stay. With this wind, I calculated that I wouldn’t get there before dark. I was to stay…
