Sometime, many months ago, John Fahnestock, Don Hemmenway and Matt Kerr decided they wanted to be challenged. The dedicated bicyclists were inspired by Kerr’s reaction to the death of a 29-year-old friend.

Day 29: The Woodlands to Silsbee: Fairly long day, great roads
Tuesday November 8, 2016, 100 miles (161 km) – Total so far: 1,896 miles (3,051 km)
On the road by 8. Mostly on the 105 all day, huge shoulder. Dodged most of the rain. Short entry today because I was watching the election and forgot to do this till too late.
Not sure where I’m going to tomorrow, 80 to 100 miles east depending how early I get up. Started raining so I guess everything will be wet in the morning too.
