Day 13: El Paso to Sierra Blanco, TX Thursday September 12, 2024, 91 miles (146 km) – Total so far: 607 miles (977 km) Vinny – Rode through many cotton fields and pecan groves with mostly desert scapes. Headwinds and afternoon heat turned the ride into a 10 hour affair with breaks. Staying at a ranch style hotel in which chickens seemingly have the run of the place.

Day 14: Sierra Blanco to Van Horn, TX A short ride Friday September 13, 2024, 38 miles (61 km) – Total so far: 645 miles (1,038 km) Vinny – the ride was a short one due to very sparse accommodations, since I no longer am carrying any camping gear. I passed into the central time zone losing an hour while riding on a chip and sealed frontage road then onto a four lane divided highway on Interstate 10 for almost 20 miles.
