I must be the only bike rider in southeast Texas not riding the BP MS150. I did not see any other riders this afternoon during my ride. I did see many wildflowers but no Bluebonnets. Indian Paint Brush and a yellow flower along with some light lavender ones. With a ESE 14 mph wind the BP MS150 riders should have had an easier ride. PedalHouston posted a picture of some people at the lunch stop around 9:34 AM on Twitter. In times past this was at Bellville. I do not know if that is where they are these days. That is an early lunch. While I was at my rest stop at a Valero station I was watching the people come and go. Interesting mix of people. One large man asked how my day was and said he wished he could do what I was doing. A couple walked slowly from their car at the pumps 50-60 away from the store went inside and when they came out the lady picked up two 24 packs of Dr. Pepper and struggled to their car. The man walked slowly behind her not offering to help.
