Total so far: 990 miles (1,593 km)<br \/>\nA pretty quiet day really except for the start. I was trying to make some scrambled eggs but had a self flipping pan so half of it ended up on the floor. It took 2 espressos for mental equilibrium to be restored. After that we set off for 15 miles of flat El Paso suburbs, much nicer than the hilly entrance we had had, then just pedalling through more pecan plantations. Weather was nicely overcast, so not too hot. We arrived at &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Day 19:Fort Hancock to Van Horn, Texas: \u00f0\u0178\u017d\u00bcBig wheel keep on turning\u00f0\u0178\u017d\u00bc<br \/>\nSaturday March 17, 2018, 72 miles (116 km) &#8211; Total so far: 1,062 miles (1,709 km)<br \/>\nStayed last night in The Community Church. Angie\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Cafe nearby so we headed there for breakfast. I had the huevos rancheros, something I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been wanting to try since arriving in Tex-Mex country. Eeeugh! Never again. ( I thought mine were great, eggs covered in salsa and melted cheese with retried beans, poppy) &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Day 20: Van Horn TX to Marfa TX: uphill all day and windy, mostly in our favour<br \/>\nSunday March 18, 2018, 76 miles (122 km) &#8211; Total so far: 1,138 miles (1,831 km)<br \/>\nA pretty poor night\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sleep with strong winds whipping the tents, a bit of rain, and the noise every half hour of a train going through a couple of hundred metres away and for some reason sounding a horn 50 times which quite genuinely must be audible a couple of miles away.<\/p>\n<p>I eventually got up at 0545 and packed up fast, planning to join Kathy and Dave for an early start. However both my Garmin watch and my phone had cleverly reset themselves for Mountain Time (at least 10 miles away) so in fact it was 0645 and I had to rush to not delay the others too much.<\/p>\n<p>A very poor breakfast at Wendy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and off onto a &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Day 21:Marfa to Marathon<br \/>\nMonday March 19, 2018, 56 miles (90 km) &#8211; Total so far: 1,194 miles (1,922 km)<br \/>\nWoke up in bright light ,in a large comfortable bed in a warm motel, Riata on edge of town, great to stretch out and not confined to &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Day 22:Marathon to Sanderson: \u00f0\u0178\u017d\u00bcDeep in the heart of Texas\u00f0\u0178\u017d\u00bc<br \/>\nTuesday March 20, 2018, 55 miles (89 km) &#8211; Total so far: 1,249 miles (2,010 km)<br \/>\nIt was a bitterly cold night at the campsite in Marathon, a nice campsite but with little shelter from the cold wind. Poppy had bought a bag of ice to keep the milk cold and had left it on the deck on which I had pitched my tent. In the morning it was frozen to the deck!<\/p>\n<p>But oh the stars! I was awoken by a train at about 1:00am and got up to visit the loo, as a gentleman of advanced years is disposed to do, and as I crossed the campsite I had to stop and gaze in awe at what must be the greatest show on earth. With absolutely no light pollution or cloud cover, I have surely never seen such a sight.<\/p>\n<p>I got up early as I was so &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Day 24:Seminole State Park to Del Rio, Texas<br \/>\nThursday March 22, 2018, 42 miles (68 km) &#8211; Total so far: 1,374 miles (2,211 km)<br \/>\nAfter the long hard slog to Seminole State Park and surviving th3 winds overnight it was gteat to get a sleep 8n till 8:15. Ian had filled out the registration slip for the camping fee $15 fo4 th3 site but had omitted the park entry fee of $5 each. He was already packed and away to Del Rio by the time I surfaced, thought I would go and sign Peter and myself up for the 10am tour of the canyon and rock art only to be met by a &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Day 27: Campwood to Lost maples State Park.<br \/>\nSunday March 25, 2018, 41 miles (66 km) &#8211; Total so far: 1,496 miles (2,408 km)<br \/>\nAfter a very nice campground 3 sisters at Campwood we set of on the short 40 miles but hilly ride for today, the profile showed 4 steep climbs and they were pretty brutal, only 1.25 &#8211; 1.5 miles long but steep, speed down below 4mph\/6kpm. The fourth hill did not materialise, we turned of into state park before the hill started so we have that first thing tomorrow. at the halfway point at &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Day 28 Lost Maples to Kerrville<br \/>\nMonday March 26, 2018, 50 miles (80 km) &#8211; Total so far: 1,546 miles (2,488 km)<br \/>\nA grey, overcast morning promised little in the way of sunshine for the morning, and we had reason to be thankful for straight out of the Lost Maples campsite we were faced with a 500 foot climb. Brutal on legs that had not yet warmed up. But we made it, as we always do.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crazyguyonabike.com\/doc\/page\/?page_id=539709\">Coast to Coast With Bubba<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3>By Bobby Rone | www.crazyguyonabike.com<\/h3>\n<p>Day 25 &#8211; Brackenville, TX to Concan, TX: Rainy day<br \/>\nTuesday March 27, 2018, 74 miles (119 km) &#8211; Total so far: 1,421 miles (2,287 km)<br \/>\nWell, last night I was able to go back several days and post a lot more pictures.

Last night it looked iffy for any riding today so we were happy to see that it was dry outside and that we would have at least a couple of hours of riding before some scattered showers might hit us.<\/p>\n<p>So we went ahead and packed up the bike, eating a quick breakfast of oatmeal cooked in our microwave.

Full implementation, with two lanes in the roundabout, will occur within the next several weeks. The roundabout is part of a project that also adds a southbound bypass lane and enhances bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Construction on the project began in October.
