Shaun’s east-to-west solo Route 66 tour<\/a><\/h2>\n

By Shaun Ivory | www.crazyguyonabike.com<\/h4>\n

Day 34: Adrian, TX to Tucumcari, NM: I am taking a break…<\/h4>\n

Friday May 6, 2022, 67 miles (108 km) – Total so far: 1,422 miles (2,288 km)\nToday’s ride was pleasant, and there was a lot to see in Tucumcari, NM, but I’ve decided to take a break.<\/p>\n

The weather forecast for the next week is for unrelenting powerful headwinds, and I am just weary of battling them. I am fine with a 10 MPH headwind, but these 25 – 30 MPH headwinds are just soul crushing.<\/p>\n

My sister lives in Albuquerque, and she is going to rescue me in Tucumcari (Tucumcari tonight!), and I will spend a week with her, evaluate the situation next weekend, and consider some alternatives. …<\/p>\n

Ride of Silence – North Austin<\/a><\/h2>\n

RedFalcon | bicycleaustin.info<\/h4>\n

Ride of Silence – Takes place all around the world at 7pm on Wednesday 18th of May. Join us in North Austin on a free family-friendly 8 mile ride to honor cyclists killed or injured on our roads. Helmets and lights required. Leaving from the parking lot south of St. David\u2019s North Austin Medical Center at 2511 Park Bend Drive, Austin 78758 (go to the parking lot on the south side of Park Bend Drive next to the Walnut Creek trail). Arrive by 6:45.<\/p>\n

I changed the route a bit this year to make it easier to ride. The suburban wasteland is a very different place than the cool trendy areas in central Austin. We are going to stop at a few spots along the way to look at where cycling infrastructure could be improved and show why our needs in the hinterlands are different from the parts of town the city tends to focus on.<\/p>\n

Another incredibly hard ride with several strong men (AND women)! We headed up one of my most dreaded roads, Ranger Creek!????\nOf course I got dropped, but finally made it to Turkey Knob. Today was the first time, at least this year, that I\u2019ve felt uncomfortably hot! Glad I didn\u2019t cramp though. Of course, and as always, I am thankful to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for allowing me to return to this sport that I love, and for yet another safe ride with great fellowship.????\n\"\"\/<\/p>\n

Do you have any leadership experience? Me : \u201cI once had an ant ???? farm\u201d<\/a><\/h2>\n
