February 26- Ride to Van Horn Texas

It was a long 66 mile ride but about 10 miles out I had my first flat tire! It was my rear tire with all the gears, derailer and disc brakes.  I had changed the rear tire before but I had forgotten the little key tricks and it took me 1 1/2 hours to figure it out. It was frustrating but once I was riding again...life was good!
I rode on uneventfully to Motel 6 where I was staying. When the manager saw that I was traveling by bike, he gave me a $10 dollar discount.  Nice people everywhere! I had a nice steak dinner and a good night sleep to rest up for probably my hardest ride of the entire trip coming tomorrow!
