A Beautiful Day - Finally

Today is why we all signed up to do this ride.

Sun was shining
No Wind
A little cold but warmed up quickly
55 mile ride - All Downhill


The ride was from Marathon to Sanderson Texas.   Very little traffic.  At the end of the ride we were completely out of the desert that we have ridden through the last 20 days.  Now we head to Texas Hill Country.

Before we left Marathon I visited the only other hotel in town....


One strange place indeed.  Look like a hotel for hobbits....






Here is what Trip Advisor said about the place....   
Anybody staying here especially those who are going through airbnb to rent a room / cabin should have their heads examined. This was probably one of the worst places that I've stayed at. This is not the place to take children.

This establishment is at the end of a dirt and stone dead end road. This place has so many safety issues that it should be closed and taken down.

There is a strange warning sign on the wall next to the door of the bunkhouse that states that the people of the establishment does building and other kinds of experimentations (not specified) and by staying there you give them permission to include you in the experiments


On the way into Sanderson the True Value had some interesting art...



Not quite sure why these were in front of the hardware store.

We had lunch at the Ranch Lunch place.  Again an interesting place with some unique waitresses....



I left a big tip!

Tonight we are staying in the High School and the seniors are catering the dinner to raise money for the Senior Class event.  Sure hope the parents are backing them up (but rumor has it the lunch place is providing barbecue).

Tomorrow is a 74 miles and the weather is going to be in the 80's but we are facing another headwind.

Another long day.
