We awoke to wet streets, chilly temps, and winds out of the NNW.<br \/>\nStrong winds. Like (once again) 20 plus. And, according to the map, the first 12 miles were straight into it. Since the clouds were supposed to move out quickly, and the day was forecast to rapidly warm, I lingered. If I were at home, I probably would have blown off the bike ride and watched a movie. Not really an option, so I slowly got ready to ride. It was almost eleven by the time I clipped in, but the roads were dry.<br \/>\nFrom Jump Street, it was very apparent that today, I just did not have it. If I were a starting pitcher, I would have given up five runs, not gotten out of the second inning, and left with the bases loaded. The kind of game where you feel like you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t deserve to get your uniform washed, because you used it so little.<br \/>\nJust before the first town (Coldspring) a roadie came up on me and positively &#8230;<\/p>\n<hr align=\"left\" width=\"95%\" \/>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crazyguyonabike.com\/doc\/page\/?page_id=454728\">Southern Tier Biking Adventures<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3>By Nate Beiler www.crazyguyonabike.com<\/h3>\n<p>Day 28: Langtry to Sanderson<br \/>\nThursday March 17, 2016, 64 miles (103 km) &#8211; Total so far: 1,881 miles (3,027 km)<br \/>\nAnother day biking through the wide-open, desolate land of western Texas. This morning we packed up and left the community center lawn pretty quickly, and then made a few stops around town (post office and visitors center) before heading off for the day. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Day 29: Sanderson to Marathon<br \/>\nFriday March 18, 2016, 57 miles (92 km) &#8211; Total so far: 1,938 miles (3,119 km)<br \/>\nThis morning after packing up, we went to a nearby store for breakfast, and were joined by a few of the cyclists we met last evening. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Day 30: Marathon to Alpine<br \/>\nSaturday March 19, 2016, 34 miles (55 km) &#8211; Total so far: 1,972 miles (3,174 km)<br \/>\nThirty days on the road already! Today we did things a little differently. And by a miraculous sequence of events, everything somehow turned out as planned. My dad has been wanting (since the beginning of the trip) to figure out a way to see the Big Bend National Park, which is about 100 miles south of the route we&#8217;re taking. We were told that from where we were, to the park, however, is a pretty desolate stretch, and would be hard to do by bicycle. We figured it would add about 4-5 days at a minimum to our trip in order to swing down and see the park (more time than we would like). So a few days ago we decided that when we get to Alpine, we would rent a car and drive down to the park for a night or two. Today, what was supposed to be a short, easy morning ride into Alpine, turned into a cold (31 degrees this morning in Marathon), windy, and &#8230;<\/p>\n<hr align=\"left\" width=\"95%\" \/>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crazyguyonabike.com\/doc\/page\/?page_id=454823\">2nd stage on AC<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3>By ron ziols www.crazyguyonabike.com<\/h3>\n<p>Alpine, TX: Where&#8217;s Bert<br \/>\nWednesday March 23, 2016, 32 miles (51 km) &#8211; Total so far: 527 miles (848 km)<br \/>\nIt was an easy day cycling 32 miles into Alpine today.

With the luxury of Deb being able to pick me up where I ended the day short of the town of Evadale, we stayed in Lumberton. So I rode out from Lumberton and made up the miles getting back to the route in Silsbee. From there it was 2 lane roads all day. Deb met me for a picnic lunch of leftober bbq brisket sandwiches at the crossroads of Thicket, TX. The Big Thicket National Preserve is near there and near everywhere around as it is BIG.<br \/>\nThe wind was strong again but was neither a plus nor minus for my morning and the last 28 miles of the day it pushed me along so I rode extra miles still finishing by &#8230;<\/p>\n<hr align=\"left\" width=\"95%\" \/>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crazyguyonabike.com\/doc\/page\/?page_id=454851\">Southern Tier eastward 2016<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3>By Luba Agranovich www.crazyguyonabike.com<\/h3>\n<p>Luba: half day<br \/>\nFriday March 25, 2016, 65 miles (105 km) &#8211; Total so far: 1,008 miles (1,622 km)<br \/>\nWe did not have far to ride today, so we decided to spend morning in El Paso. University of Texas, located right next to our hotel, is very picturesque. The downtown El Paso is beautiful too. I did not realize before how big El Paso was. After lunch in a nondescript Mexican place started out of the city. At first we admired how much easier it was riding today than yesterday when entering the city.
