Day 51: Waiting out a storm in Refugio
Today I stayed at the motel in Refugio. It rained heavily until 1:30 PM. Refugio got 4.5 inches (11.2 cm) of rain.
Corpus Christi got 10 inches (25 cm) of rain and had 3 tornadoes close to my route. Many roads were flooded for hours. If I biked today I would have cooler temperatures and a strong tailwind, but today is not a good day to pedal to Corpus Christi.
Tomorrow I will still have the tailwind and cooler temperature, but hopefully no rain and no flooded roads.
My original plan was to pedal to Port Aransas this morning and spend the afternoon at a beach. Then pedal to Corpus Christi tomorrow to meet my parents.
Tomorrow I need to get all the way to Corpus Christi. The long distance should be easy with a tailwind and flat terrain. But I won't have much time for beach stops.
