3-30-15 Sanderson to Del Rio, TX 111 miles - 2

Some of the riders wondered if (surely!) the 111 miles from Sanderson to Del Rio, TX were flat. Nope. Not flat and full of chip seal! We are beginning to pick up on a nick name for CHIP seal...something that rhymes with CHIP. Anyway, we left as early as possible. Below is a tour of some of the things we saw.

3-29-15 Marathon to Sanderson, TX 54 miles

We had only 54 miles from Marathon to Sanderson, with a tail wind and more downhill than up! I think we are still recovering from last Thursday's 90 mile challenge ride, and once we got going the first 15 miles, we finally got going. Aside of the heat, which hit at the very end of the ride (104 degrees), it was a nice ride.
