Day 21 Marfa: Lonesome day<\/h4>\n

Friday October 14, 2022, 74 miles (119 km) – Total so far: 1,225 miles (1,971 km)\nToday it\u2019s my turn to cook with Jack as assistant chef. This means I have to reach camp in Marfa between 2 and 3 pm, to give enough time to put up my tent, get a shower and go off to the supermarket with Ankur to buy provisions for the evening meal and breakfast. It\u2019s a 74 mile ride mainly uphill and a headwind that may get worse as the day goes on, so could be a challenge. I’m getting the hang of different time zones, sunrise today will be at 8 am, when we started off on West Coast time it was 6 am. A rough calculation of cycling time meant that I had to be away just before sunrise so I was up at 6:30 packing everything to get breakfast just after seven, sort myself out and be away.<\/p>\n

I left camp by myself and expected to be by myself all day since I seem to be the fastest rider in the group. It was great to be out on the road early, watching the sun come up over the mountains. Highway 90 was ever so quiet. I love this type of cycling, an open range with …<\/p>\n

Day 21: Van Horn, TX to Marfa, TX<\/h4>\n

Saturday October 15, 2022, 74 miles (119 km) – Total so far: 1,140 miles (1,835 km)\nToday was a mental and physical challenge. Our second day in a row of more than 70 miles and our seventh day of riding without a rest.<\/p>\n

We awoke to nice weather and the first 10 or so miles was pretty good. Then we started a long shallow climb of about 1000 feet over 50 miles. Normally that wouldn’t even be noticeable but there were headwinds of about 10 mph as well. There was some scenery but no services at all along the way today. So one of our leaders set up a water stop at mile 38. It turns out that there is a tiny library that was funded by Carl Rove in Valentine, TX (population 134). We stopped and …<\/p>\n
