Sunday October 2, 2022 Rode with Laura today. Weather was decent in low 80s. So much fun chatting about family, music and of course our love for cycling/bikes.

In Hondo, I think we …
Day 26: Knippa TX to Live Oak TX
Monday October 3, 2022 Early start as we knew we would continue on on 90 East. We had 83 miles today. Weather in 60s when we started but rose to mid 80s.

Plenty of open stores in both. Honda is a big town with Billy Bob’s burgers. Passed some cattle and corn farms. We saw 3 gigantic buzzards dining roadside. They obviously …

#TourdeBcycle22 update: @S_Calvert7 and I have hit 16 stations so far! That includes the four at Deussen Park that are worth bonus points. One of the stations was down there, will that still count @HoustonBCycle if I email in?
