Day 30: Sanderson-Marathon, TX. Friday March 29, 2019, 55 miles (89 km) – Total so far: 1,737 miles (2,795 km) We pulled a Patti and Jo stunt, starting to pedal at 4:30 a.m. this morning to beat the 91* temp. of the afternoon.

Sonny seemed thrilled and a few minutes later stopped by and offered to make an Indian Breakfast for us. Thirty minutes later he delivered Chai and little bowls of goodies that we are not sure but it looks like different types of breakfast cereal. Very good. Thank you Sonny. Sonny is a very nice and generous man.
Sonny received a …
