Day 22: Van Horn to Marfa Texas
Wednesday April 5, 2017, 76 miles (122 km) – Total so far: 1,277 miles (2,055 km)

Thankfully the horrible southwest winds left overnight. However when I started out it was only 39 degrees F. I tried to gut it out but had to stop to dig out my fleece gloves as my fingerless riding gloves were just not enough. It really never get all that warm today. I carried extra water and hardly drank half of it. I had on my black leg warmers on all day, as well as my …

More is better for 2nd Viva Streets Harlingen

Viva Streets Harlingen was a big success last year, with more than 1,500 attendees and 400 people registering for the 5K run-walk.
So this year the “paved park” concept, which closes some downtown streets, is combining with Library Night Out to be bigger, better and badder.
“During Viva Streets we temporarily close down some streets to automobile traffic so that the community may use them for walking, bicycling, dancing, playing and socializing,” said Alexandria Rocha, transportation planner with …
