Steve & Barry’s Ride Across America – Stage 5 (Section 3 and 1/2 of 4)
By Steve Elsesser | www.crazyguyonabike.com
Day 14 – Ride (8) – Van Horn, TX to picnic area 8 miles east of Sierra Blanca, TX: Today we hit the 2/3 mark on our Ride Across America!
Wednesday October 20, 2021, 42 miles (68 km) – Total so far: 396 miles (637 km) Occasionally, we have the bonus of ending or beginning the day at our campground. It not only allows us to get an earlier start, it also saves the to/from drive. This morning was such a morning. It was cool (I was actually cold) as we started shortly after sunrise under – you guessed it – sunny skies.
Day 16 Ride (9) – 8 miles east of Sierra Blanca, TX to 2 miles west of Tornillo, TX
Friday October 22, 2021, 48 miles (77 km) – Total so far: 444 miles (714 km) Another fast ride today, with the wind at our backs and 2 bonus flat tires!
We left the campground just before sunrise. The moon was full and bright, and worthy of a picture. Pretty cool.
