Heading to Fort Hancock

We left El Paso heading to Fort Hancock, TX.  A 63 miles ride.  Again the weather did not cooperate as we continue to fight headwinds (10-13 mph).  The weather was a little better in that starting temperature was about 40.  It did manage to get up to almost 60 today - so let's hope that trend continues.

We climbed to the highest point in El Paso on the way out and got to take a photo of the city. 

The big red sculpture in the background is the border crossing between US and Mexico.  The town on the other side of the border is Jaurez.   

Again nothing to really take pictures of .  Just run gown houses, pecan trees and cotton fields that seem to have just been planted.

To put our ride in perspective here is my US map with our route blackened.

 Sure do have a lot to go!

Tomorrow we have a 74 mile ride - looks like another day of headwinds.  Damn.
