Bridging America

By Rick Twombly | www.crazyguyonabike.com

DAY 67: Amarillo, TX to Vega, TX: Cadillac Ranch

Thursday November 4, 2021, 43 miles (69 km) – Total so far: 2,557 miles (4,115 km) Oh – that Texas chip seal… the worst type of torturous pavement known to mankind. Plenty of it out here on little used sections of Route 66 / the frontage roads. Enough to knock your fillings loose, but fortunately I don’t have any. Can’t tell if I’m shaking from the ultra cold morning, or this road surface. But – once it warmed up a bit and we got back on regular pavement it was an exceptional day. …

DAY 68: Vega, TX to San Jon, NM: More Sad (but interesting) Ghost Towns

Friday November 5, 2021, 58 miles (93 km) – Total so far: 2,615 miles (4,208 km) The further west we go the more desolate the landscapes become. Even the ‘functioning’ towns seem like they’re in the process of failing, slowly but certainly. Some towns, like Glenrio at the Texas / New Mexico border have completely gone under. These were thriving places back in the heyday of Route 66, and now they’re just destroyed shells of their once vibrant past. It’s sad, but fascinating. …

AEP Texas honors employee whose death prompted action to make cycling safe in Corpus Christi

Author: Michael Gibson | www.kiiitv.com

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The July 2016 cycling death of former American Electric Power Texas spokesperson Andy Heines began a real push for safety that reached Corpus Christi’s City Hall.

Councilmembers took up the issue and demanded that bike lanes be installed to give riders some protective distance from vehicles.

Heines had been riding his bicycle down SPID near Paul Jones Avenue when he was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver. The accident sparked a call for new safety measures, and former Councilman Mark Scott was one of the individuals who took the issue and ran with it.

"That was the event, I think, where the community said, ‘We’re done. We need to provide …

Thursday November 4, 2021, 52 miles (84 km) – Total so far: 1,563 miles (2,515 km) Leaving the resort, I went in the office trying to meet the lady who took my reservation. She made it easy for me to get in my room even when I came in late. Too bad Elain was not there but ladies in the office made me feel welcome.

Weather has turned cold. In the rain, I didn’t feel cold in my rain jacket. But not today.

But it was such an amazing ride. For more than …
