Day 27
Bumping along on Ranch Road 334
Saw a beautiful herd of Elk along the way.tLeft Bracketville and Fort Clark Smith after a breakfast in the SAG(support and gear) bus . Eggs and yogurt is quick becoming the breakfast of bikers. We headed out on Ranchroad 334 which has a flat road chipseal surface, stone and oil, Tim thinks thats its a surface treatment and perhaps thats why it was so rough. Another day of shaking and vibrating along. Jeff took a close up photo of it which I will post. Some rolling hills but nothing we couldn't handle.
One can tell that you are out of dessert and into ranch country, green grass, trees and wildflowers abound. We ride along side the Neuces River as we get closer to Camp Wood.It is quite hot once again with temperatures in the 90's.
Maggie had a chain break and Abby had the stem on her tire break causing a sudden and loud exploding,flat, she rode the final 10 miles with George and they repaired it at camp. We are overnight at the Los Rios Campground here in Camp Wood. Bakers and us are sharing an A frame cottage which is cool and comfortable. Abby cooked us all a nice dinner of chili and garlic bread with salad and everyone retired for an early bedtime.
Today's ride: 51 miles (82 km)
Total: 1,184 miles (1,905 km)
