She had left McDade Park at 8 a.m. that morning and had traveled 100 miles in six hours and 30 minutes.  She was drenched in sweat, and her face was red.  Still, she was smiling, and she was not too surprised by the way the day unfolded.  She had been here before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was challenging,\u201d said Fleming.  For a mid-September day, the weather was hot (over 90 degrees), and the riders had to contend with a steady crosswind for many miles as they peddled across the Panhandle.  But as difficult as the conditions were this year, they were much improved over 2021, when the temperature exceeded 100 degrees and the wind was blowing at over 30 miles per hour.  Undeterred, Fleming won then too.  In fact, Saturday was her fourth Dumas win in five years.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/foxsanantonio.com\/newsletter-daily\/missing-police-searching-for-teenage-boy-last-seen-wednesday-morning-riding-his-bicycle-investigation-san-antonio-texas-evidence-cruiser-neighborhood\">MISSING: Police searching for teenage boy last seen Wednesday morning riding his bicycle<\/a><\/h2>\n<h4>foxsanantonio.com<\/h4>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foxsanantonio.com\/resources\/media\/da97d1d8-c07a-43ee-9160-030a4f26fd4a-large16x9_teenager.jpg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>SAN ANTONIO &#8211; Authorities are looking for a teenage boy who was last seen Wednesday morning riding his bicycle on the West Side.<\/p>\n<p>Aiden Anthony Guevara, 13, also known by the nickname &quot;Tato&quot; was last seen off Bradford Avenue near Culebra Road.<\/p>\n<p>He is 4 foot, 8 inches tall and weighs 110 pounds with brown hair and eyes.
