Went out for my morning ride to find a good chunk of the road already ruined with trucks and signage up on the entirety of the road all the way to Aubrey. I called a few offices this morning to ask why they were chipsealing the damn shoulder as they usually do the main center of the road and left the nice concrete shoulder alone. But no more. They said it would be done by the end of today. Gee, thanks.
It isn’t the worst chip seal I’ve ever ridden, but it’s not the beautiful concrete shoulder it was previously. Just thought I would post it up here as I know several clubs in the North Texas area usually roll through there. About 10 miles of beautiful road ruined.

Day 40: Good Bye Laredo
Monday May 16, 2016, 70 km (43 miles) – Total so far: 2,115 km (1,314 miles)
Monday monday, after a weekend of mostly rest… it did oddly feel like a monday. Time again to get back to the road, and back to adventure.
I set off right before checkout time at 11 am. Before hitting the real road, the highway that is, I wanted to go to the downtown area and check it out. Also, food… always food. For a moment I thought about crossing the border into Nuevo Laredo, but decided that it’d take too much time to do that and get back to highway 83 at a reasonable time to make any …
