Navasota, TX Rest Day April 7, 2010

This morning Carol packed up five bikes that needed repair in the next town.  She and Linda took them in on our day off today.  Those five people are really grateful to get their bikes back into shape for tomorrow's ride!

 Today it rained most of the day.  Good day to clean and lube gears, cogs and chains!

I had been looking forward to this rest day, not only because it was nice to have time to catch up on my blog, but because I am going to be visited by Kori Hardy.  We met Kori back when we shared a deck at our condo in Eagle-Vail, Colorado.  Over the years, we have spent time having dinners, drinking wine and relaxing in the evenings with her and her family while we are out there, ski season and summers.  She lives in Pearland, TX, which is 90 minutes away from Navasota.  She brought her 6 month old daughter, Ellie, who was born since we last saw her.

We drove over to College Village, the next city over, home of Texas A&M.  We had a nice lunch in one of Kori's favorite places.

It was great fun to see Kori and Ellie.  Kori has a great sense of humor as evidenced by the sticker on the back of her mini-van!

I am hoping that Kori and her family will decide to come up to Vail over our annual 4th of July trip to Colorado for hiking and fireworks.

We went out to dinner tonight, and the sky looked pretty ominous! Prediction, however,  is for a high of 72 tomorrow and sunny for our 73 mile jaunt to Cleveland, TX.

 

Tomorrow will be 75 miles to Cleveland, Texas.
