Winds on the ride today were also extreme but nothing like yesterday. And, the winds were west\/northwest so they were our friend and helped to make the miles pass very quickly.

Phil\u2019s son lives there and has a great place, complete with goats, chickens, and donkeys.<\/p>\n<p>The first day of a tour is always tough: trying to make sure everything is working well (both the bike and the body), that the bags are not falling off the bike, making sure we have enough water and snacks, etc. Weather is always a wild card. Today the good news was that it was not raining or cold; however, the not-so-good news was that we were riding into a strong headwind the entire day. We all struggled a bit. Unfortunately, Phil began feeling progressively worse and began cramping at mile 28 of our planned 40. He opted to cash it in and hopefully will be back with &#8230;\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.crazyguyonabike.com\/pics\/docs\/00\/02\/40\/94\/small\/3ReadyToLeave.JPG?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<h4>Day 2: Enchanted Rock State Park to Fredericksburg, TX: WINDY WINDY WINDY HEADWIND<\/h4>\n<p>Tuesday March 29, 2022, 22 miles (35 km) &#8211; Total so far: 63 miles (101 km)\nAs promised, we started the day by hiking up to the top of Enchanted Rock. Absolutely incredible! It was definitely worth it. There was another wind advisory today: 25 mph winds from the south gusting to 35 mph. We did not get blown off the top even though it seemed possible at times.<\/p>\n<p>As we prepared to start the ride (heading to the south right into the aforementioned wind), I elected to remove the Da Brim Bike Helmet Visor as I did not want to be lifted off the bike (impersonation of Sally Field in the 1967 Flying Nun sitcom?). That turned out to be a good move as the wind seemed stronger today than it did yesterday. The weather report for tomorrow also shows a wind advisory with stronger sustained 35 mph winds. The good news is that the wind will be out of the northwest tomorrow, so we should have some tail wind for a change, or at worst, a few side winds. Tomorrow should be the last day for these crazy winds (fingers crossed).<\/p>\n<p>I neglected to mention yesterday that &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"09LeavingER\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7vggWbVfbD8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.crazyguyonabike.com\/pics\/docs\/00\/02\/40\/94\/small\/11IMG_7497.JPG?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<h4>Day 3: Fredericksburg, TX to Blumenthal, TX (including Luckenbach!): Windy Day: But in our favor!<\/h4>\n<p>Wednesday March 30, 2022, 26 miles (42 km) &#8211; Total so far: 89 miles (143 km)\nI forgot a couple of things to include on yesterday&#8217;s update. When we were camping at Enchanted Rock, we talked to a guy in the morning who was saying that he had some animal activity at his campsite in the middle of the night. I asked him if he knew what kind of animal it was; his response was that &quot;it was something that knew how to work a zipper and also liked Flaming Hot Cheetos&quot;. That should narrow it down. Also, we did stay in a motel in Fredericksburg last night. That was planned and we could not have been luckier as it rained pretty hard in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n<p>This morning we had to hang around Fredericksburg until 10AM to stop by another bike shop. When I got my tire replaced yesterday, it did not occur to me then that my emergency spare tubes would not work with the new tires. Hence the slight delay. While we were doing the final packing at the motel, we met the nicest couple from Iowa: Carol and Art. They are on their way back to Iowa after spending the winter in South Texas. We solved all sorts of the world&#8217;s problems in the 30 minute conversation. Art has his eye on getting a motorcycle; go for it my friend. Their picture is below.

Marge and I set out as soon as we were allowed into the sunrise with a strong (25-30 mph) tailwind. We went 20 miles on the shoulder of Interstate 10 and in a short while we were passed by Linda, Alison, Nancy, Diane and Diane in a peloton. We got off at exit 159 for a SAG stop and got back on I 10 until exit 176 after 37.6 miles. The interstate was surprisingly easy to ride with relatively smooth pavement and just a little debris.\nWe turned off onto TX-118 which was windy from the side. Now we were on chip seal pavement and the road started to climb. We had a second SAG stop at 46.9 miles. The scenery was rocky, with mountainous outcroppings with occasional groups of cattle.
