The tale of a cyclist – Part 3

Cycling and Randonneuring- What is That?

So first a little background. So what is RUSA and what is a Rando?
What is RUSA?
Randonneurs USA (RUSA) is a national organization whose goals are to promote randonneuring in the US and provide service to American randonneurs and randonneuses. Established in 1998, RUSA doesn’t actually organize any rides, but rather, coordinates the brevets of the Regional Brevet Administrators (RBAs) and clubs who do. RUSA also frequently acts as the interface between the Audax Club Parisien in France and American riders and …

Day 27: Del Rio to Langtry
Wednesday March 16, 2016, 64 miles (103 km) – Total so far: 1,817 miles (2,924 km)
This morning was a little different. We had to make a run into town for breakfast and to find a propane can for the cooking stove my dad has along. Although we weren’t able to find any propane in the end, we got sent from place to place by different store managers who knew of a place that might sell it, and ended up riding about 8 miles before our day ever got started. We at least found a breakfast by the end of it. Back at the RV park, we spent another hour or so doing laundry and packing up before finally getting out on the road around noon. The ride to Langtry went well, and a few times we were able to see across the Rio Grande into Mexico. We got to Langtry just before dark, and were quickly directed to a place where “the cyclists usually camp.” That place was the town’s old community center, and so we’re now …

Mar 23: To Kerrville
Wednesday March 23, 2016, 76 miles (122 km) – Total so far: 2,103 miles (3,384 km)
I slept terribly last night. The wind kept gusting violently – and because of the slope of the site I had to pitch the tent the “wrong way” round with respect to the wind. So the tent was flexing and flapping. Secure enough, just not really restful enough for any sleep!
The Mexican restaurant directly over the road had been recommended to me by someone at the campsite. They opened at 6.30 AM for breakfast so I thought I’d perk myself up with a Mexican breakfast (I’d also been promised it was cheap!). This was a bit of a first for me. I’m also never sure about having spicy food for breakfast. Initially I incurred the wrath of …

Luba: back to the ACA route
Wednesday March 23, 2016
It was our second and, I am afraid, our last supported day. Ever nice Mary Ann brought our panniers to El Paso and we got to ride through raging wind without carrying extra weight. An uber driver told us today that such winds are a norm in El Paso at this time of a year. Luckily, the wind blew mostly at our backs. But I had to hold on to my bike with all my might when the road turned. We tried to follow an ACA route but it, as Google used to, attempted to send us on the dirt road. We decided to just stay on SR 20 all the way. In the city the traffic was horrific with no shoulder for a weary cyclist. So, we …
