No big route selection magic for today. I just rode north on US59 to New Caney and west to Gene Campbell Road. From there I headed to FM1314 and back towards Porter. Stopping at the Stripes station for a break with Diet Pepsi and Kashi cookies I watched the giant Texas flag hang limp on the pole with an occasional burst of wind.
