Day 19: Fort Davis to Marathon, 1089’ climbing, 3:53 hrs in the saddle, easiest day so far
Thursday October 7, 2021, 54 miles (87 km) – Total so far: 941 miles (1,514 km) A great ride to Alpine, a lot of downhill. Really nice terrain. A big Mountian goat jump out in front of me in this area. Tried to get a picture but hard to see.
Day 20: Marathon to Sanderson, 600’ climbing, 3:45 hrs in the saddle. Pretty easy, boring day

After about mile 20 started a slow downhill even there was headwind. …

by Kari Kuwamura | sanantonioreport.org
On Wednesday, Oct. 13, at the San Antonio City Council B session, the city manager and staff will present their recommended list of projects for consideration on the May 2022 municipal bond. After an extensive, public-led review and vetting process, $1.2 billion will be recommended for these projects, with voter approval in May 2022.
San Antonio’s bond only comes along twice a decade and our city can’t afford to miss it or wait for an extensive planning process. We need one fully connected pedestrian and cycling network that links to destinations both on and off our streets. …
Bike Refuses To Cross Scary Lucy Park Duck Pond Bridge
Durango Texas | durangotexas.blogspot.com
My gas powered mechanized hauling device took me and my bike back to Lucy Park today to do some wheel rolling.
In the photo documentation above, we are stopping to consider if it a good idea to ride across that short bridge you see the handlebars pointing to. That bridge looks innocuous enough. However, I have walked across that bridge on previous visits to the Lucy Park Duck Pond and found this bridge a challenge to walk on. It moves up and down and rocks left and right.
I have seen little kids having themselves a mighty fine time on this bridge. I think …
