Made it to Horseshoe Bay, TX and spent a few days hanging out in Texas Hill Country eating barbeque and swilling iced tea. I washed the bike and had to clean the driveway it shed so much gunk. Left there on Wednesday and jetted up to Pecos (pronounced peykus), TX. Right in the heart of oil country. Unremarkable ride as is the case in a lot of Texas (sorry Grumpy). From there I ran up to Socorro, NM. Mostly a flat and straight ride but finally got into some nice country as I ran through Lincoln County. Had a really good green chili cheeseburger somewhere around Lincoln. Looking forward to today's ride up to Winslow, AZ. If the weather works out I should see some interesting country in the next few days. My ETA for arrival at home is the end of the month. I'm hoping for a bit of a weather window up north so I don't drown. I still need to get over the sierra/cascade mountains and that's looking like I may have to ride the Columbia Gorge. Not the worst prospect.
