We got a visit from one of our Channel Legends, Joe Nganga, all the way from Dallas, Texas. Turns out Joe is quite a climber and fit right in with the Team RR guys. Cool morning at the start about 10 Celsius. Paul, Alan and I showed up in the Veloharmony Colors along with Joe. Epic ride today with Mo and his maniacs. We did a slight variation to our route and went west of the Sam Houston National Forest. We were able to get some clips. Hope they capture the spirit of the ride.
